“…DPP also contains minerals (cobalt, magnesium, copper, iron, selenium, zinc, boron and nickel), vitamins (A, C and E) and steroid compounds such as estradiol, estriol and estrone, which can be used to treat infertility (El-Kashlan et al, 2015;Hassan, 2011). Besides, it has been reported that DPP is a good source of natural antioxidants (Iftikhar et al, 2014). Many studies have shown that DPP has several effects such as reducing the expression of inflammato-ry cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α as well as anti-inflammatory (Elberry et al, 2011), antioxidant (Abbas andAteya, 2011), anticoccidial, anti-apoptosis (Metwaly et al, 2014), anti-angiogenesis (Rasouli et al, 2018) and hypoglycemic (Mohamed et al, 2018) effects.…”
