Evaluation of the protective effects of gossypin for ischemia/reperfusion injury in ovary tissue.

Abstract

Ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious gynecological condition that affects women of reproductive age and reduces ovarian reserve. Management of I/R injury with detorsion causes reperfusion damage, in which oxidative stress plays a central role. This study aimed to investigate whether the gossypin (GOS) with antioxidant properties, a flavonoid, has beneficial effects on the biochemical, molecular, and histopathological aspects of ovarian I/R injury.
