Study demonstrates chrysin's protective effects on liver and testicular damage from cadmium, suggesting potential therapeutic use.

The central aim is to evaluate the protective effects of chrysin on liver and testicular injuries caused by cadmium.
Administered cadmium (3 mg/kg) to rats for 5 days.
Evaluated chrysin effects using two doses (75 and 150 mg/kg/orally).
Measured sperm quality, testosterone levels, and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation.
Assessed liver and testicular tissue for damage indicators and protective enzymes.
Chrysin improved sperm quality and testosterone levels.
Increased SOD activity and GSH contents, decrease in lipid peroxidation levels (MDA).
Reduced pro-inflammatory markers NF-κB and NLRP3/IL-1β in tissues.
Attenuated caspase-3 signaling associated with apoptosis.

Aboulqassim et al. (2026) studied this question.
