Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the prophylactic effects of acetyl L-carnitine against to uterus induced by cisplatin. Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: group I (control) was administered with saline; group II was administered with acetyl L-carnitine; group III was administered with cisplatin; group IV was pretreated with acetyl L-carnitine before cisplatin intraperitoneal injection. After 72h of cisplatin injection uterine tissue was removed. Histological and immunohistochemical investigations were performed, respectively. Results: We found that the number of TUNEL and caspases positive cells were increased in the endometrial epithelium, subepithelial connective tissue, endometrial glands and stroma in group III compare to the other groups. Furthermore inflammation and edema were observed in uterus of rats in group III. Conclusion: We can concluded that pretreatment of acetyl L-carnitine administration has protective effect on histological alteration of uterus caused by cisplatin. Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, asetil L-karnitinin, sisplatinin neden olduğu uterus hasarına karşı profilaktik etkilerini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Yirmi dört adet Wistar albino cinsi dişi sıçanlar dört gruba ayrıldı: 1. gruba (kontrol) salin uygulaması yapıldı; 2. gruba asetil L-karnitin uygulaması yapıldı; 3. gruba sisplatin uygulaması yapıldı; 4. grup ise sisplatinin intraperitoneal enjeksiyonu öncesinde asetil L-karnitin ile ön tedaviye tabi tutuldu. Sisplatin enjeksiyonundan 72 saat sonra uterus dokusu çıkarıldı. Histolojik ve immünohistokimyasal incelemeler yapıldı. Bulgular: TUNEL ve kaspaz pozitif hücre sayılarının, diğer gruplara göre 3. grupta endometriyal epitelde, subepitelyal bağ dokusunda, endometriyal bezlerde ve stromada arttığını bulduk. Ayrıca 3. Gruptaki ratların uterusunda inflamasyon ve ödem gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Asetil L-karnitin ön tedavi uygulamasının, sisplatin kaynaklı uterus histolojisinin değişikliği üzerinde koruyucu etkisi olduğu sonucuna vardık.
