Effect on paternal supplementation of palm oil (Tocotrienol Rich Fraction) on male fertility / Noor Arshikin Talib
Tocotrienol Rich fraction (TRF) is composed of tocotrienol isomer that is part of Vitamin E family. This study was performed to investigate the fertility potential and toxicity effects of TRF on male rats. Fifteen (15) adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=3). Control negativ...
