Background

Antipsychotics (APs) are widely prescribed drugs, which are well known to cause reproductive adverse effects through mechanisms yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of antipsychotics on mitochond... Read More about Effect of antipsychotics on mitochondrial bioenergetics of rat ovarian theca cells.
