Discussion

Animal study shows improved testicular weight and sperm motility in diabetic rats, highlighting the therapeutic potential of 4-hexylresorcinol.

Treatment with 4-hexylresorcinol preserves testicular function and structure in diabetic rats, effectively mitigating severe testicular atrophy.
Testicular weight reached 1.91 g in 4-hexylresorcinol-treated diabetic rats versus 1.22 g in untreated controls, restoring sperm motility.
Assessment of streptozotocin-induced tissue damage shows reduced apoptotic indicators; rat model, so further preclinical testing is warranted.

Oh et al. (2024) studied this question.
