Effects of allium cepa on ovarian torsion-detorsion injury in a rat model
OBJECTIVE: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage following detorsion treatment, tissue fibrosis, and adhesions cause secondary tissue damage in the ovaries. Many studies have been evaluated to minimize antioxidant damage in ovarian reserve loss while minimizing I/R damage. However, no study observed lon...

Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage following detorsion treatment, tissue fibrosis, and adhesions cause secondary tissue damage in the ovaries. Many studies have been evaluated to minimize antioxidant damage in ovarian reserve loss while minimizing I/R damage. However, no study observed long-term effects on the ovarian torsion model in rats. In this study, we evaluated the profibrotic effects of A. cepa on an ovarian torsion model on rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Group I (n=7) rats were the sham group. Group II (n=7) rats were the torsion group and Group III (n=7) rats were the torsion + A. cepa group. To observe the long-term effects of allium cepa, rats were fed for 21 days. Cellular damage I/R is evaluated by histopathological damage score, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) is measured to analyze the profibrotic effect. RESULTS: A. cepa altered cellular damage due to improvement in the histopathological damage score with A. cepa intake. However, the profibrotic mediators TGF-β1 and α-SMA are non- significantly changed by the A. cepa (p=0.477 and p=0.185 respectively). CONCLUSION: A. cepa is a potent protective on cellular tissue, minimizing I/R damage on ovarian tissue histologically. Our study implies that A. cepa does not affect fibrosis-related mediators in the rat ovary. |
