Summary
Researchers found that pinostrobin, a natural flavonoid, alleviated testicular damage and sperm abnormalities induced by polystyrene microplastics in rats, suggesting it may be a potential therapeutic candidate for microplastic-related reproductive toxicity.
Therefore, it is concluded that PN may prove a potential therapeutic candidate to restore all the PS-MPs-induced testicular toxicities.
