摘要
Introduction We investigated the effect of ginkgo biloba on testicular ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Materials and methods Thirty-two Wistar Albino rats were randomly assigned into four groups. Torsion/detorsion (T/D) performed to the rats in group 1, group 2 received ginkgo biloba (50 mg/day) for a month before T/D, group 3 received only gingko biloba (50 mg/day) for a month and group 4 was defined as sham group. After 1 month the testes were removed. Results Mean testicular malondialdehyde, nitrate and nitrite levels were significantly increased in group 1 compared to groups 2, 3 and 4 (P < 0.05). The rats in group 3 provided basal histological appearance. In group 1, edema, congestion and hemorrhage between seminiferous tubules were predominant. In group 2, histopathologic features were markedly less than group 1. Conclusions Malondialdehyde, nitrate and nitrite levels were increased after unilateral testicular torsion. EGb 761 has a protective effect on testicular injury induced by IR.
