The protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat ovary.
This experimental study was designed to determine the changes in tissue levels of malondialdehyde, end-product of lipid peroxidation (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and xanthine oxidase (XO) and the effect of caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) phenethyl ester (CAPE) on these metabolite levels after adnexal torsion-detorsion model in rats. ⋯ These results suggest that administration of CAPE has beneficial effects in the prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the ovaries.
