Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different doses of dexpanthenol (Dxp) onexperimentally induced ovarian ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ina rat model.
Study design
Forty female rats were randomly divided into fivegroups: Group 1: sham operation; Group 2: 3-h ischaemia; Groups 3: 3-h ischaemia, 3-h reperfusion (I/R); Group 4: I/R + 300 mg/kg Dxp intraperitoneally (i.p) Group 5: I /R + 500 mg/kg Dxpi.p. Total anti-oxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of glutathione peroxidase and catalase were calculated. Ovarian tissue damage was assessed using a histopathological scoring system.
Results
The TOS and OSI values were significantly lower in Group 5, as compared to Groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.05). The MDA levels in Group 1 and Group 5 were significantly lower than those in Group 3 (p < 0.05). CAT and GSH-Px activity was higher in Group 5 than in Group 2 and Group 3 (p = 0.00). Tissue damage scores were elevated in all the groups compared with sham group, but the treatment with the different doses of Dxp before reperfusion ameliorated the tissue damage scores.
Conclusion
The results showed that Dxp reduced ovarian I/R injury.
