OVARIAN TOXICITY OF FAC CHEMOTHERAPY IN RATS AND POSSIBILITY OF ITS CORRECTION WITH PLATELET-RICH PLASMA

Abstract

Aim: To compare the dynamics of changes in the hormonal status of female rats in the setting of the FAC (5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy and after local administration of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Materials and methods: The study was carried out on female Wistar rats treated according to the FAC chemotherapy scheme (4 courses with a 3-week interval). The ovariotoxic effect of the FAC chemotherapy was assessed by the levels of anti-Mullerian hormone, estradiol (E2) and follicle-stimulating hormone in the proestrus phase. Three weeks after the last course of chemotherapy, 5 rats were administered with local intra- and periovarian injection of PRP (triply with a 1-week interval).

Results: The dynamics of all investigated hormonal markers of the ovarian reserve in experimental animals was characterized by a progressive decrease in anti-Mullerian hormone and E2 levels and an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone level. The dynamics of the studied parameters after the serial administration of PRP demonstrated an improvement in the hormonal status.

Conclusion: FAC chemotherapy in the experiment causes premature ovarian failure, and local administration of PRP improves the hormonal parameters of the ovarian reserve.
