Abstract

We aimed to investigate the effects of unilateral total salpingectomy procedure on ovarian follicular reserve, apoptosis, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining in this study. Fourteen female Wistar Albino rats of 12 weeks were randomly divided into two groups. Abdomen midline incision was conducted under general anesthesia. Group 1(G1) (n=7): Group in which only the abdomen was opened and closed, Group 2(G2) (n=7): Group that underwent right total salpingectomy. After 1 month, abdomens of all rats were opened. Ovaries were macroscopically evaluated. Right ovarian tissue was quickly removed, fixed in 10% formaldehyde, and paraffin blocks were prepared.' The existence of fibrosis was identified with the usage of light microscope. Follicles were microscopically classified and counted. The prevalence of cytoplasmic immune staining and TUNEL staining was scored semi-quantitatively. SPSS 17.0 software was used for the statistical analysis of data. First, Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis was conducted, and then Mann-Whitney U test was utilized for inter-group dual comparisons for parameters found as p<0.05. While the number of CL was found out dramatically high, secondary follicle count was found out to be significant...Continue Reading
