Summary

Royal jelly — a natural bee product — protected mouse testes from damage caused by polystyrene microplastic exposure by boosting antioxidant defenses and reducing programmed cell death. This points to potential protective nutritional strategies against reproductive harm from microplastic ingestion, though results in mice need to be verified before drawing conclusions about human health.
