Sperm viability, motility, and morphologic abnormality in rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and treated with α-Tocopherol.

Group	Viability	Motility	Abnormality
CG	87.70±3.97^a	85.10±4.74^a	13.50±2.91^d
T0	35.20±5.05^d	31.50±7.87^c	44.80±6.89^a
T1	67.80±6.62^c	64.20±6.23^b	30.10±5.21^b
T2	75.50±6.09^ab	72.60±5.60^ab	20.50±3.17^cd
T3	84.10±3.81^a	81.20±6.10^a	15.20±1.93^d

Different superscripts in the same column show significant differences (p<0.05); * in the same column show very significant differences (p<0.01). Rats in the control group (CG) received 0.5 mL of corn oil twice daily at 4 h intervals for 45 days. Rats in groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 received 700 ng TCDD/kg of body weight (BW) daily, and 4 h later received corn oil, 77, 140, and 259 mg α-Tocopherol/kg BW, respectively, for 45 days.
