Ovarium torsion is a gynecological emergency that is common in women of reproductive age and requires early diagnosis and intervention. In this study, we aimed to investigate the long-term anatomical, histological and biochemical protective effects of lamotrigine in ovariums in the ischemia – reperfusion (I–R) model created experimentally in rats. A total of 40 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 14 weeks old, weighing 220–270 g were used in the study. The subjects were randomly distributed to form 4 groups named SHAM group, I - R group, I - R + Lamotrigine (LTG) group and R + LTG group. Under general anesthesia, the ovaries of the rats were reached and ischemia was created for 3 h with vascular clamps. 20 mg / kg LTG was administered intraperitoneally (ip.) to group 3 30 min before ischemia and to group 4 30 min before reperfusion. At the third hour of ischemia, the vascular clamps were opened and the abdomen of the rats was closed according to the surgical procedure. The rats were followed up for 28 days postoperatively and the ovarium tissues taken on the 28th day were examined anatomically and histologically. Biochemically, estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured from blood samples taken from their hearts. Granulosa cells with diffuse vaculations were observed in degenerative follicles in group I-R. Again in this group, severe hemorrhage, fibrosis and edematous areas were observed in the ovarium stroma (Ovarian Histopathological Scoring (OHS): 7). In the I - R + LTG group, OHS was statistically significantly lower than the I - R group (OHS: 2; p < 0.000). In the R + LTG group, although the OHS score was calculated to be lower than the I - R group, there was no statistically significant difference (OHS: 6; p > 0.05). The protective effect of LTG against experimentally created ischemia and reperfusion damage was determined anatomically and histologically. No protective effect of LTG was observed in terms of FSH, E2 and AMH values measured from the blood sera of rats. These findings may provide a basis for future studies using LTG to treat ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury. • Ovarian torsion with approximately 70 % of cases being seen in women aged 20-39. • Lamotrigine exhibits a repro-protective role on ischemic-ovarial tissue. • The repro-protective effect via anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Sepsis is a severe public health problem affecting millions of individuals, with global mortality rates caused by lower respiratory tract infections are approximately 2.38 million people a year die from respiratory failure caused by infection. Although ACE is known to contribute to damage in septicemia, the pathophysiological mechanisms of sepsis remain unclear. While mortality can be significantly reduced through effective and sensitive antibiotic therapy, antibiotic resistance restricts the use of these drugs, and the investigation of novel agents and targets is therefore essential. Our aim was to determine whether Perindopril (PER) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capable of preventing these adverse conditions resulting in injury in previous studies. Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into the control group, received oral saline solution alone for four days. the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, underwent only cecal ligation and puncture induced sepsis, while the CLP + PER (2 mg/kg) underwent cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis together with oral administration of 2 mg/kg PER for four days before induction of sepsis. Malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kβ/p65) levels increased in the CLP group. On the other hand, PER (2 mg/kg) oral administration to septic rats decreased MDA, TNF-α and increase glutathione (GSH) in the lung tissue. In addition, PER administration also decreased the lung tissue NF-κB and Caspase-3 immunopositivity against sepsis. PER treatment may represent a promising means of preventing sepsis-induced lung injury via antioxidant and anti-inflammation effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Damage to the ovaries or tissue torsion can significantly reduce the ovarian reserve and thus cause severe gynecological and hormonal deficiencies. The discovery of new agents is always needed in the treatment of this condition. Metformin (MET) has been shown to be beneficial in attenuating ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury. Fifty-six female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into seven groups. Group 1 represented the control group (C), Group 2, the ischemia group (I), and Group 3, the ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R). Group 4, the ischemia (I)+250 group, and Group 5, the ischemia (I)+500 group, received 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg MET, respectively. Group 6, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)+250 group, and Group 7, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)+500 group, received 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg MET, respectively. Tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in ovarian tissue increased following I/R, while estradiol (E 2) levels decreased. Moreover, infiltration and diffuse edematous areas were observed in addition to diffuse vascular congestion and hemorrhage findings. Caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κβ) expression levels also increased. MDA and TNF-α concentrations decreased in the MET treatment groups, while GSH and E 2 levels increased. The findings showed that I/R causes ovarian damage through the induction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. However, MET application was effective in preventing damage in ovarian tissue by reducing levels of reactive oxygen species, proinflammatory cytokines, caspase-3 and NF-κβ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Display omitted] • Vitamin B12 reduced ovarian damage caused by ischemia/reperfusion. • Vitamin B12 decreased oxidative stress/inflammation damage by TLR-4/NF-κB pathway. • Vitamin B12 has potential for the prevention of ovary torsion/detorsion injury. Ovarian ischemia is a gynecological emergency case that occurs as a result of ovarian torsion. Oxidative stress and inflammation play central roles in the development of ischemia/reperfusion injuries. We investigated the effects of Vitamin B12, thought to possess antioxidant characteristics on oxidative stress and the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in the ovaries during ischemia-reperfusion. Forty-eight rats were randomly assigned into six groups and the groups are designed as follows: Control (C), Ischemia (I), Ischemia + Vitamin B12 (I + B12), Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R), I/R + Vitamin B12 (I/R + B12) and Sham + Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 was administered at a dose of 400 mcg/kg via the i.p. route once daily for three days before I/R procedure. Tissue interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in ovarian tissue increased following I/R, while glutathione (GSH) levels decreased. Moreover, extensive congestion, edema, hemorrhage and defective follicle were observed. Both NF-κB and TLR-4 expression levels also increased in the group exposed to I/R. While GSH levels increased, IL-1β, IL-6, MDA, NF-κB and TLR-4 levels decreased with Vitamin B12 treatment. In addition, ovarian tissue without edema, mild congestion, and normal-appearing follicles were observed following Vitamin B12 administration. The findings showed that I/R in ovarian tissue resulted in significant tissue damage by increasing oxidative stress and inflammation. However, Vitamin B12 application was effective and alternative agent in reducing injury deriving from inflammation and oxidative stress developing in association with I/R in ovarian tissue.
