The data are expressed as mean±SEM. The data analysis was done using one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s Post hoc test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The abbreviations represent the following: Control: Normal control rats; PCO-Model-Saline: these rats received testosterone enanthate 1 mg/100 g body weight subcutaneously for 35 days once daily. Then, saline was injected into them intraperitoneally for 4 weeks once daily; PCO-Model resveratrol: these rats received testosterone enanthate 1 mg/100 g body weight subcutaneously for 35 days once daily. Then, resveratrol 10 mg/kg was injected into them intraperitoneally for 28 days once daily.
