Fig. 7From: Icariin improves testicular dysfunction via enhancing proliferation and inhibiting mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathway in high-fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic ratsSchematic illustrating ICA’s protection against diabetes mellitus induced testicular dysfunction in rats possibly via enhancing cell proliferation and inhibiting intrinsic mitochondria dependent apoptotic signaling. Red arrows in T2DM panel mean deleterious effects (with significant difference) to reproductive function and relative parameters when compared with normal control group (nondiabetic). Red and green arrows in ICA treatment panel represent that there are no and obvious effectiveness respectively after ICA administration when compared with T2DM groupBack to article page
