Abstract:

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of levetiracetam (LEV) at a concentration of 350 mg/kg/day of body weight on oviduct tissue in female albino mice (Mus musculus). The experimental animals were divided into three groups and administered orally once daily for 14, 30, and 45 days. Each treatment group was matched to its own control group. The results of the present study showed that ciliated columnar cells transformed into cuboidal cells, with reduced cilia density, shortened secretory cells, hemorrhage, necrosis, and cell death of the mucosal folds, decreased tissue hyperplasia with the appearance of vacuoles, the presence of inflammatory cells in the lumen, and hyperplasia and hypoplasia of the tunica muscularis when compared to the control group.
