Abstract
It was biochemically and histopathologically investigated whether disulfiram has protective effects on ischemia-induced ovary damage. For this purpose, levels of tGSH, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-OH Gua/Gua were investigated in ischemic rat ovary tissue. Results show that used doses of disulfiram (10, 25, and 50 mg/kg) prevent MDA, a product of ischemia-induced lipid peroxidation, formation in female rat ovary tissue and prevent decrease of enzymatic and non-enzymatic (SOD, GSH) antioxidant parameters. Additionally, all doses of disulfiram significantly prevent DNA damage when compared to control group. Fewer histopathological findings were observed in tissues with higher antioxidant levels and lower oxidant and DNA damage levels.
