Evaluating effect of acrylamide and ascorbic acid on oxidative stress and apoptosis in ovarian tissue of wistar rat.

ABSTRACT: Acrylamide is one of the undesirable compounds created in food, which leads to oxidative stress. Under normal conditions of the body, there is a balance between the production and elimination of free radicals. Imbalance in this process causes oxidative stress. Ascorbic acid has antioxidant properties and can be used to prevent oxidative stress damage. In this study, we considered the effect of acrylamide as a substance that causes oxidative stress and ascorbic acid as an antioxidant. In this experiment, 28 rats were separated into 4 groups (n = 7). Mice were fed orally with acrylamide (10 mg/kg), ascorbic acid (200 mg/kg), both acrylamide and ascorbic acid, and water as AR, AA, AR&AA, and control groups, respectively. Blood and ovarian tissue samples were collected after the final feeding
