Ameliorative Effects of Sesame Seed Oil Against Penconazole-Induced Testicular Toxicity and Endocrine Disruption in Male Rats

Abstract

Penconazole (PENZ), a fungicide that belongs to the triazole class, is commonly used in agriculture, horticulture and forestry industries for the control of powdery mildew [1]. It stops fungal growth by inhibiting lanosterol-14-demethylase (CYP51), which is required for ergosterol biosynthesis [2]
