Özet

Introduction. Although assisted reproductive techniques have made most causes of both male and female infertility treatable, uterine factor infertility is not able to therapy. Therefore, transplantation of the uterus has been suggested as a future possible cure. Organ preservation solutions seek to reduce reperfusion injury. Since iloprost is an antioxidant with cytoprotective properties, we investigated its potential positive effects in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution after 4 or 24 h cold storage period of the rat uterus.
