Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To evaluate the ovarian-protective effects of clotrimazole on ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat ovarian-torsion model. METHODS: 32 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: (1) ischemia group (n = 8) in which only left adnexal torsion was performed for 2 h, but no treatment was given; (2) vehicle group (n = 8) in which left adnexal torsion was performed for 2 h and at the end of 2 h ischemia polyethylene glycol (3% PEG, 1 ml, i.p.) was administered and a 24-hour reperfusion was continued; (3) clotrimazole group (n = 8) in which left adnexal torsion was performed for 2 h and at the end of 2 h ischemia clotrimazole (30 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered and a 24-hour reperfusion was continued, and (4) control group (sham-operated, n = 6) in which no adnexal torsion and no treatment were given. The criteria for ovarian ischemia were follicular cell degeneration, vascular congestion, hemorrhage and infiltration by inflammatory cells. Each specimen was scored for each criterion (0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe). RESULTS: Clotrimazole significantly decreased plasma levels of serum malondialdehyde, ischemia-modified albumin, and total oxidant status. CONCLUSION: This study showed the ovarian-protective effects of clotrimazole on ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury.
