Synthetic Cannabinoid AB-FUBINACA Negatively Impacted the Male Fertility and Induced Testicular Toxicity حسب Ayman Alzu’bi (13162392)

"…AB-FUBINACA treatment also causes a significant dose related decrease in sperm viability. These findings were associated with higher level of oxidative stress (GP91 expression and malondialdehyde level) and elevated expression of key regulators of apoptosis (Bax and caspase-3) as well as reduced expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes SDHB (II), UQCRC2 (III), and ATP5a (V) in the testicular tissue.…"
