Preventive Salpingectomy and Ovarian Reserve: Experimental Study

  • EXPERIMENTAL METHODS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and testosterone were studied in rats after removal of the uterine horns, oviducts, or combined surgery. The effects of preventive salpingectomy on ovarian reserve were studied. After preventive salpingectomy, the level of anti-Müllerian hormone was low throughout the experiment, follicle-stimulating hormone increased only by the end of observation (on day 40), and testosterone level decreased only on day 10. Hysterectomy alone caused no changes in the concentrations of the studied hormones on day 10 after surgery. Salpingectomy alone reduced the concentrations of anti-Müllerian hormone and testosterone and did not change the level of follicle-stimulating hormone during this period.
