Abstract

Objective: In female cancer survivors, the accelerated loss of primordial follicles may lead to premature ovarian failure. We investigated the protective effects of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) and gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) against chemotherapeutic-induced ovarian toxicity in a rat model.
