Background: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting agent, is widely used as polycarbonate plastics for producing food containers. BPA exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations can cause reproductive disorders.

Objective: The effect of Naringenin (NG) on BPA-induced Sertoli cell toxicity and its mechanism was examined in the present study.

Materials and Methods: In this experimental-laboratory study, the mouse TM4 cells were treated to BPA (0.8
