Abstract

Introduction: Ischernia/reperfusion damage (IRD) is one of the most important factors in the success of organ transplantation. IRD plays a role in both acute and chronic rejection. This study aims to evaluate the effects of lycopene, which is known to be a powerful antioxidant, on experimental uterine IRD.
