Yam-Active Protein Protects Against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Testicular Injury by Suppressing Inflammatory Responses

Chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity severely compromises male fertility, yet effective interventions remain limited. Building on our previous finding that yam protein (YP) modulates the gut-microbiota axis, this study investigated its direct protective role against cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced testicular injury. Spectral analysis revealed a protein fraction (L-YP) with strong intrinsic fluorescence and optimal cytoprotection against oxidative stress. Proteomic characterization revealed six dom
