Abstract

Aim: This study aims to analyze the effect of dapsone against ischaemia-reperfusion injury on corporal tissue in a model of induced-priapism in rats.
 Material and Method: A total of 24 rats were randomized into three groups. Group 1 was defined as the control group. Ischaemia-reperfusion injury was evaluated following the priapism model in Group 2. Group 3 had similar procedures to the rats in Group 2. Group 3 additionally had 12.5 mg/kg dapsone administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes after priapism.
 Results: Biochemical analysis of blood indicated a significant increase in Group 3 in terms of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) values compared with Group 2 (p:0.002, p:0.029 and p:0.009, respectively). The highest values of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PC) and total oxidant status (TOS) were recorded in Group 2 (p
