Arsenic poisoning and induced potential lesion is a global concern. However, the exact mechanisms underlying its toxicity especially in male reproductive system still remain unclear. Hence, this study aimed to explore the roles of mTOR and Beclin1-Vps34/PI3K complex during As-induced-toxicity using Rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor), Beclin1 siRNA and 3-methyladenine (3-MA, Vps34/PI3K inhibitor) in testicular stromal cells. For this, mouse testis Leydig Tumor Cell lines (MLTC-1) were challenged with As Show less
