Green tea polyphenols alleviate di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced testicular injury in mice via lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA axis

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer known for its toxic effects on the male reproductive system. Green tea polyphenols (GTPs), recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, have demonstrated protective effects on various organs, but the mechanisms by which GTPs mitigate DEHP-induced testicular damage remain unclear.
