Suppression of testosterone production by nanoparticulate TiO(2) is associated with ERK1/2–PKA–PKC signaling pathways in rat primary cultured Leydig cells

BACKGROUND: Nanoparticulate titanium dioxide (nano-TiO(2)) enters the body through various routes and causes organ damage. Exposure to nano-TiO(2) is reported to cause testicular injury in mice or rats and decrease testosterone synthesis, sperm number, and motility. Importantly, nano-TiO(2) suppress...
