[ 1 ] - Assesment of flaxseed on oxidative stress in prepubertal rats with experimental varicocele
Introduction: Perepubertal varicocele can result in hypotrophy of testes, sperm damage and decrease the function of leydig cells in future. pathophysiology of varicocele is unclear. Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a major theory. There are many controversies in treatment of pediatric varicocele.
