Abstract
The environmental pollutant bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) induces oxidative stress, leading to impaired sperm parameters and reproductive toxicity.
In a new study published in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, the role of glutathione S-transferase A2 (GSTA2) — a known detoxifying agent against environmental pollutants — was assessed in counteracting DEHP-induced reproductive damage.
