This study indicated that the mRNA expression level of the apoptotic gene (Bax) in the groups reserving lycopene (10 and 4 mg/kg) was lower than that of the varicocele group (p < .05), which is consistent with the results of the study done about the effects of lycopene in experimental varicocele (Antonuccio et al., 2020). Here, BAX is linked to varicocele.
