Effect of MAS on testicular protein levels in varicocele (VC)-induced male SD rats determined by western blot analysis. a p-JNK, (b) p-IRE, (c) Pro-caspase-3, (d) cleaved caspase-3, (e) Bax:Bcl 2 ratio. Data are presented in mean ± SEM. The differences were tested by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test; n = 10 for each group. *Significant at P < 0.05; ** Significant at P < 0.01; *** Significant at P < 0.001- versus CTR group; # Significant at P < 0.05; ## Significant at P < 0.01; ### Significant at P < 0.001- versus VC group. CTR: control; MAS 200: MAS 200 mg/kg p.o.; VC: varicocele; VC + MAS 200: MAS 200 mg/kg p.o.; p.o.: per oral; ANOVA: analysis of variance; SEM: standard error of the mean
