The effect of erythropoietin on endosalpingeal karyorrhexis during ischemia reperfusion injury in rats
open access
Abstract
Introduction. The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of the antioxidant drug “U-74389G” on rat model, particularly in ischemia reperfusion protocol. The beneficial or other effects of that molecule were studied estimating the mean endosalpingeal karyorrhexis (EK) lesions.
Material and methods. 40 rats were used of mean weight 247.7 g. EK was evaluated 60 min after reperfusion for groups A and C and 120 min after reperfusion for groups B and D. Groups A and B without the drug but C and D with erythropoietin administration.
Results. Results were that erythropoietin administration kept non-significantly increased the EK scores by 0.1 (–0.0393284–0.2393284) (p = 0.1544). This finding was in accordance with the results of Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p = 0.1573). Reperfusion time non-significantly decreased the EK scores by 0.1 (–0.2393284–0.0393284) (p = 0.1544), approximately in accordance with the increased EK score by 0.1 (–0.2440518–0.0440518) of Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p = 0.1573). However, Epo administration and reperfusion time together kept non-significantly increased the EK scores by 0.0181818 (–0.0679319–0.1042955) (p = 0.6715).
Conclusions. Results of this study indicate that Epo administration kept non-significantly increased the EK scores. Perhaps, a longer study time than 2 hours may provide more significant effects.
