Abstract
This study investigated whether abemaciclib (ABE) administration had any adverse effects on ovarian and sex hormones in female rats, and the protective effect of curcumin. Forty female rats were equally divided into the sham control, DMSO, curcumin (CMN), ABE, and ABE+CMN groups. Pharmaceuticals were administered by gavage daily for 28 days. Serum sex hormones were measured in an autoanalyzer operating with a microparticle immunoassay method. In addition, histopathological examination and 8-OHdG expression were performed on the ovarian tissue. Progesterone and testosterone levels were significantly decreased, while estradiol levels were significantly increased, in the ABE group compared to the sham and DMSO groups. In addition, there were significant differences in sex hormone levels in the CMN and/or CMN+ABE groups compared to the ABE group. There was decreased expression of 8-OHdG in the ABE+CMN group compared to the ABE or CMN only groups. This study exhibited that ABE administration can adversely affect functions and histology of the ovarian tissue, but CMN therapy may be protective against the adverse effects on ovarian in ABE-induced rats.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnic & Histochemistry (formerly Stain technology) is the
official publication of the Biological Stain Commission. The journal has been in continuous publication since 1926.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry is an interdisciplinary journal that embraces all aspects of techniques for visualizing biological processes and entities in cells, tissues and organisms; papers that describe experimental work that employs such investigative methods are appropriate for publication as well.
Papers concerning topics as diverse as applications of histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytochemical probes, autoradiography, light and electron microscopy, tissue culture, in vivo and in vitro studies, image analysis, cytogenetics, automation or computerization of investigative procedures and other investigative approaches are appropriate for publication regardless of their length. Letters to the Editor and review articles concerning topics of special and current interest also are welcome.
