Abstract This worked aimed to test the hypothesis that L-alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln) improves the varicocele-induced
testicular injury, which causes male infertility. For this purpose, fifty adult male Wistar rats received the varicocele (VC)
surgery at the left renal vein. Biomarkers were determined 2, 4, and 8 weeks after VC (n = 10/each detection). Four weeks
after VC, rats received Ala-Gln (1.125 g/kg) treatment with and or saline for 1 week (n = 10/each group). Rats in the sham
group were also detected for biomarkers at 2, 4, and 8 weeks (n = 10/each detection). VC caused testicular injury detected
by hematoxylin–eosin (H&E)… More >
