Objective: Cisplatin (CP) toxicity causes ovarian damage by oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible beneficial effects of exenatide on the experimental ovarian damage model produced by CP.
Method: For 14 rats, CP was administered by intraperitoneally (i.p) twice a week for 5 weeks. No drug was administered to the remainder of rats (n = 7) (Group 0). The rats taken CP were divided into two groups. Group 1 rats (n = 7) were given 1 mL/kg/day saline i.p., and Group 2 rats (n = 7) was given with 20 μg/kg/day exenatide.
Results: The number of primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary follicle was significantly lower in Group1 compared with Group 0 and Group 2. The ovarian fibrosis percent was significantly higher in Group 1 than Group 0 and 2. The plasma anti-Mullerian hormone value was lower in Group1compared with Group 0 and 2. Over Nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 level, Over Toll-like receptor 4 level and over nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain containing receptor 3 were higher in Group 1 compared with Group 0 and 2.
Conclusion: Exenatide has possible beneficial effect on ovarian damage induced by CP by anti-inflammatory actions and can be a promising candidate for ovarian damage caused by CP.

Protective effect of luteinizing hormone on frozen-thawed ovarian follicles and granulosa cells.

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation addresses critical challenges in fertility preservation for prepubertal female cancer patients, such as the lack of viable eggs and hormonal deficiencies. However, mitigating follicle and granulosa cell damage during freeze-thaw cycles remains an urgent issue. Luteinizing hormone (LH), upon binding to luteinizing hormone receptors (LHR) on granulosa cells, enhances estrogen synthesis and secretion, contributing to the growth of granulosa cells and follicles.

Drug repurposing has potential to improve outcomes for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Repurposing drugs with PARP family binding activity may produce cytotoxic effects through the multiple mechanisms of PARP including DNA repair, cell-cycle regulation, and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine existing drugs that have PARP family binding activity and can be repurposed for treatment of HGSOC.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted metabolic and hormonal disorder in females of reproductive age, frequently associated with cardiac disturbances. This research aimed to explore the protective potential of adropin and/or tirzepatide (Tirze) on cardiometabolic aberrations in the letrozole-induced PCOS model. Female Wistar non-pregnant rats were allotted into five groups: CON; PCOS; PCOS + adropin; PCOS + Tirze; and PCOS + adropin+ Tirze.

Prepubertal chemotherapy induced ovarian damage poses a significant threat to female fertility, particularly following cyclophosphamide (CP) treatment. Humanin (HNG), a small molecule polypeptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, has a variety of effects, this study aimed to investigate the protective effects of HNG and its combination with conventional Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) on ovarian function in a CP-induced damage model. The 21-day-old C57BL/6J female mice were randomly assigned to six groups: Control, CP model, HNG, HNG+CP, GnRHa+CP, and HNG+GnRHa+CP.
