Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 082 Alleviates Heat Stress Induced Testicular Injury by Modulating Gut Microbiota

Heat stress has become one of the major threats affecting animal reproductive performance. Although probiotics have potential roles in maintaining testicular health, their protective effects and mechanisms against heat stress-induced testicular damage remain unclear. This study used Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 082 (LP082) as the research subject, administering it to heat-stressed mice.
