Treatment plan for study of cadmium-induced infertility in male rats.

Groups	Treatments
1	Normal control: received distilled water orally
2	Disease control: cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride orally for three consecutive days [19]
3	Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride thrice + CoQ10 20 mg/kg/day [19]
4	Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride thrice + lycopene 4 mg/kg/day suspended in corn oil [20]
5	Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride thrice + L-carnitine 100 mg/kg/day [21]
6	Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride thrice + ZnSO4 6 mg/kg/day [22]
7	Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg/day as cadmium chloride thrice + L-carnitine/CoQ10: 500/50 mg/kg/day
