Background: This study compared the effects of erythropoietin (Epo) and the antioxidant lazaroid U-74389G (L) on fallopian pathology in a rat model of fallopian ischemia-reperfusion (FIR). The comparison was based on two preliminary studies evaluating the effects of each drug in an FIR animal model. Methods: Fallopian pathology was assessed at two endpoints: 60 minutes (groups A, C, E) and 120 minutes (groups B, D, F) of reperfusion. Groups A and B received no drugs, groups C and D received Epo, and groups E and F received U-74389G. Results: The Epo study showed a non-significant reduction in total fallopian pathology within the “lesion-free” grade by -0.01 (95% CI: -0.09 to 0.06). The U-74389G study showed a non-significant increase in pathology by 0.01 (95% CI: -0.05 to 0.06). Co-evaluation indicated that Epo slightly ameliorated fallopian pathology, while U-74389G slightly worsened it, though the difference was non-significant. Conclusion: Epo demonstrates a slight, non-significant superiority over U-74389G in restoring fallopian pathology, potentially applicable in clinical settings.
