Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) can directly suppress basic ovarian cell functions in two farm animal species and protect ovarian cells from the proliferation-stimulating influence of xylene.

Chia seed extract reduced markers of cell function in bovine and porcine ovarian cells. Xylene stimulated proliferation and hormones release but chia mitigated its effects on cell proliferation. Chia could be a natural protector against xylene's effects on ovarian cells.
