Quercetin alleviates cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian insufficiency in mice by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress and pyroptosis in granulosa cells
Summary
Researchers found that quercetin, a natural plant compound, protected mouse ovaries from chemotherapy-induced damage by reducing harmful oxidative stress in mitochondria and suppressing a form of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis, suggesting it could help preserve fertility in patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Quercetin protected the ovarian reserve from CTX-induced ovarian damage by reversing mitochondrial dysfunction and activating mitochondrial biogenesis via the PGC1-α pathway. Moreover, quercetin may improve ovarian functions by downregulating pyroptosis in the CTX-induced POI model. Thus, quercetin can be considered a potential agent for treating POI.

Protective effect of Luffa cylindrica fermentation liquid on cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian failure in female mice by attenuating oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis
Researchers tested a fermented extract from loofah plants (Luffa cylindrica) as a treatment for chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure in mice, finding it significantly restored hormone levels and reduced ovarian cell damage by suppressing inflammation and cell death pathways. The results suggest this natural fermentation product may help protect fertility in women undergoing toxic chemotherapy treatments.
Apigetrin ameliorates doxorubicin prompted testicular damage: biochemical, spermatological and histological based study
Researchers tested whether the flavonoid apigetrin could protect rat testicular tissue from damage caused by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin. They found that doxorubicin caused significant oxidative stress, inflammation, hormone imbalance, and tissue damage in the testes, but co-administration of apigetrin substantially reduced these harmful effects. The study suggests that natural plant compounds may help protect reproductive health during cancer treatment.
Allantoin Derived From Dioscorea opposita Thunb Ameliorates Cyclophosphamide-Induced Premature Ovarian Failure in Female Rats by Attenuating Apoptosis, Autophagy and Pyroptosis
Researchers studied whether allantoin, a compound from a Chinese yam species, could protect female rats from ovarian damage caused by the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide. They found that allantoin treatment reduced ovarian cell death through multiple protective pathways and helped preserve ovarian function. While this study does not involve microplastics, it contributes to understanding how natural compounds may help protect reproductive health from toxic chemical exposures.
Overview of the evaluation of the destructive effect of procarbazine on the ovarian reserve in the apoptotic, inflammatory, and oxidative pathways
This review evaluated the evidence on procarbazine's toxic effects on ovarian function, examining both clinical data from cancer treatment and experimental findings on mechanisms of ovarian damage. The findings are relevant for fertility preservation in women receiving procarbazine-containing chemotherapy.
Assessment of the protective and ameliorative impact of quercetin nanoparticles against neuronal damage induced in the hippocampus by acrolein
Researchers found that quercetin nanoparticles — tiny particles of a natural antioxidant found in plants — protected brain cells in the hippocampus from damage caused by acrolein, a toxic compound linked to Alzheimer's disease, suggesting nanoparticle delivery of quercetin as a potential therapeutic strategy.
