dc.description.abstractThe cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs is known due to its non-selective effect not only on cancer cells but also on healthy cells. This study investigated the cerebellar alteration in rats prenatally exposed to cyclophos-phamide (SK, 20 mg/kg). We also evaluated the neuroprotective potential of Ginkgo biloba (GB, 80 mg/kg/day) against possible biological changes caused by SK in the cerebellar tissues. Twenty adult female rats (weighing 230-280 g, 12 weeks old) were divided into five groups: control, sham, SK, GB, and SK + GB. After mating, pregnant rats was treated with SK in the SK and SK + GB groups and GB in the GB and SK + GB groups from day 13 to day 21 of gestation. After parturition, eight female rats were randomly selected from each group. On day 32 after birth, the cerebellar tissues were dissected and then examined under light microscope using stereological and histopathological methods. Stereological findings showed that the total number of Purkinje cells and granular cells were significantly decreased in the SK group than the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, the mean volumes of molecular layer, granular layer, white matter, and cerebellum were significantly decreased in the SK group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In the SK + GB group, the total number Purkinje cell, and granular cells, as well as the mean volumes of molecular layer, granular layer, white matter, and cerebellum were significantly increased than the SK group (p < 0.05). Histopathological evaluation also confirmed our stereo-logical findings in the cerebellar tissues. Our results showed that prenatal exposure to SK caused significant changes in the cerebellar architectures of rats, and that GB administration significantly attenuated the delete-rious effect of SK on the cerebellar tissues.en_US
