Effects of strawberry methanolic extract (SME) treatment on the mRNA expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2) and heme oxygenase (HMOX1) in testis of rats exposed to cadmium (CdCl₂) toxicity. Data of the mRNA expressions (mean ± SEM of triplicate assays) were normalized to the GAPDH mRNA level and are shown as the fold induction (in log2 scale) relative to the mRNA level in the controls. ^a Indicate significant change from the Control at p < 0.05; ^b indicate significant change from the CdCl₂ at p < 0.05 using Duncan’s post hoc test.
