THE EFFECT OF ASPIRIN ON REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS OF FEMALE ALBINO RAT
AbstractThe aim of present investigation is to study the effect of oral administration of drug acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin) on female albino rat, Rattus norvegicus. The female rats (n=24) were allocated into 2 groups as control (n=12) and treated (n=12). The treated rats were given oral dose of aspirin 100 mg/ kg body weight for 15 days (n=6) and 30 days (n=6). Tissues enzymological estimations such as ACP (Acid Phosphatase) and ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) along with histopathological studies of reproductive organs (ovary and uterus) were done. The present investigation indicated that, aspirin significantly increased ACP and ALP content in reproductive tissues and also caused significant histopathological variations in reproductive organs such as ovary and uterus by modulating certain enzyme metabolism in female albino rats.
