Experimental analysis shows N-acetylcysteine limits ovarian toxicity from doxorubicin in female rats, suggesting a potential treatment option.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an aminothiol compound, eliminates free radicals and enhances glutathione (GSH) synthesis, thereby strengthening intracellular antioxidant defenses. Although its protective effects against ovarian injury have been reported, its efficacy in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced ovarian failure has not been demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate whether NAC exerts a protective role against DOX-induced ovarian toxicity in female rats.
