It was aimed to evaluate whether gallic acid (GA) have a beneficial effect in the testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) model in rats for the first time. Testicular malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, superoxide dismutase, catalase, high mobility group box 1 protein, nuclear factor kappa B, tumor necrosis factoralpha, interleukin-6, myeloperoxidase, 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein, activating transcription factor 6, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein and caspase-3 levels were determined using colorimetric methods. The oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis levels increased statistically significantly in the IRI group compared with the sham operated group ( p < 0.05). GA application improved these damage significantly ( p < 0.05). Moreover, it was found that the results of histological examinations supported the biochemical results to a statistically significant extent. Our findings suggested that GA may be evaluated as a protective agent against testicular IRI.
