INTRODUCTION: We investigated the effect of ginkgo biloba on testicular ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-two Wistar Albino rats were randomly assigned into four groups. Torsion/detorsion (T/D) performed to the rats in group 1, group 2 received ginkgo biloba (50 mg/day) for a month before T/D, group 3 received only gingko biloba (50 mg/day) for a month and group 4 was defined as sham group. After 1 month the testes were removed. RESULTS: Mean testicular malondialdehyde, nitrate and nitrite levels were significantly increased in group 1 compared to groups 2, 3 and 4 (P<0.05). The rats in group 3 provided basal histological appearance. In group 1, edema, congestion and hemorrhage between seminiferous tubules were predominant. In group 2, histopathologic features were markedly less than group 1. CONCLUSIONS: Malondialdehyde, nitrate and nitrite levels were increased after unilateral testicular torsion. EGb 761 has a protective effect on testicular injury induced by IR.
