Abstract

In this study, the aim is to observe changes induced by dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and resveratrol (RES) in diminished ovarian follicles that was induced by 4-vinylcyclohexenediepoxide (VCD). Twenty four Wistar albino female rats were divided into 3 groups: control, DHEA and RES. Unilateral oophorectomy was performed in control group to remove the right ovary of 4 rats and the left ovary of 4 rats. After administration of 160 mg/kg VCD, remaining ovaries were removed. Following the same VCD treatment, in DHEA and RES groups, 60 mg/kg DHEA and 20 mg/kg RES were given for 45 days respectively and residual ovaries were removed. Hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining were performed. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) values were measured. In control group, VCD-induced apoptosis in follicles increased the TUNEL-positive cell counts (p<0.001) with decreased number of follicles. On the other hand, DHEA significantly increased all three follicle types in the ovaries and decreased apoptosis (p<0.001). The decreased follicle number in all three follicle types after VCD treatment were found to be significantly increased after RES treatment (p<0.001). Apoptosis in the follicles was signific...Continue Reading

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
