“…Concerning the body weights of animals in both groups, the effect of B was comparable with control at the different time points. This met an agreement with previous finding that indicated no change in body weights of rams fed B when compared to control (Ibrahim et al, 2019). However, the body weights of Japanese quail were improved significantly with B feeding at a low dose (Özdemir et al, 2016).…”

“…Boric acid has been found to induce an enhancing influence on T3 and T4 secretion (Ince et al, 2010). In rams, B supplementation succeeded to improve the thyroid activity (Ibrahim et al, 2019). Concerning the body weights of animals in both groups, the effect of B was comparable with control at the different time points.…”

“…Interestingly, the results also revealed a significant GROUP and TIME × GROUP interactions effect for serum testosterone levels, indicating greater improving effects of B on the serum testosterone levels at the various time points in comparison with control group. In this concern, Ibrahim et al (2019) reported that giving rams a B-supplemented diet resulted in an increase in serum testosterone levels. Furthermore, healthy human participants who took a 10 mg boron tablet with their breakfast every day observed their testosterone levels rise significantly (Naghii et al, 2011).…”

“…(Cengiz et al, 2020). Furthermore, B supplementation in the diet of rams improved significantly the thyroid activity (Ibrahim et al, 2019). On the other side, B treatment in rats increased markedly the histological features of transformation in thyroid follicular cells together with diminishing the iodine content in the gland (Luca et al, 2017).…”

“…In terms of the reproductive aspect, there is a plethora of literature that explains the favourable effects of B on male fertility. In this concern, feeding rams with a diet supplemented with B for 4 months resulted in a significant improving of their reproductive capacity (Ibrahim et al, 2019). Moreover, B has been proved to protect the frozen ramlic ram semen from DNA damage during freezing and thawing process and accordingly improved their fertilizing power (Yenİ et al, 2018).…”

In recent years, the physiological roles of boron (B) have attracted widespread interest, with the predominant focus on the reproductive component (Duydu et al., 2016). Obviously, concentration of B in the environment has become trendy cursed as it is introduced in diversified industrial purposes including cosmetic, food, agricultural and pharmaceutical ones and is easily discharged into the environment (Price et al., 1996).According to the report of European Union, B could be categorized as 'Group 1B' compound of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) that is associated with risk phrases R60-61 (R60:

In the study investigating the effects of boron on thyroid hormones and some biochemical parameters in hypothyroid rats, 49 Wistar Albino male rats were divided into seven groups; (Control (C), Hypothyroidism (H), boron groups (B10, and B20), hypothyroid + boron groups (HB10 and HB20), and Treatment (T). Four groups (H, HB10, HB20, and T) were administered 10 mg/kg (B10 and HB10), 20 mg/kg (B20 and HB20) boron for 3 weeks, respectively after hypothyroidism was induced using Propycil® containing propylthiouracil (PTU). Thyroid hormone analyses and biochemical measurements were made from the serum and thyroid gland tissue was examined histopathologically. According to the findings, the fT3 level increased in the B10 group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). While AST, ALT, and ALP activities were found to be higher in the hypothyroid group than in the control group, AST and ALP activities in the HB10 and HB20 groups decreased to values close to the control group. Total cholesterol levels were found to be lower in boron‐given groups compared to control and hypothyroid groups (p < 0.05). Sodium iodide symporter (NIS) immunoreactivity was found to be high in hypothyroid rat groups. As a result, it was observed that the increased AST and ALP activities in rats decreased with boron administration. The serum hormone levels measured in the study are not sufficient to understand the effect of boron on the thyroid gland, and it was concluded that further studies at the molecular level are needed to understand the effects of boron on the thyroid gland.
