Licorice, the root of the leguminous Glycyrrhiza, is one of the most frequently employed botanicals in foods and traditional medicines, which is composed of triterpene saponins, flavonoids, polysaccharides, pectins, simple sugars, amino acids, mineral salts, and various other substances. To investigate whether licorice affects on the antioxidant system of male reproductive organs, we analyzed the mRNA expression pattern of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family (type 1-4) in the reproductive tissues including testes, epididymides, prostates, and seminal vesicles of rats exposed to licorice.
