Table 4 Effect of different treatments on oxidative stress parameters: lipid peroxidation (MDA) and protein carbonyl content (PCO) in testis of controls (C) and mice treated with deltamethrin (DL), essential oil of P. graveolens (EO) and Vitamin E (Vit E) or their combination

From: Antioxidant properties of Pelargonium graveolens L’Her essential oil on the reproductive damage induced by deltamethrin in mice as compared to alpha-tocopherol
