Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: RESULTS: The ipsilateral malondialdehyde levels in the T/D group were significantly greater than in the control and baseline groups. Moreover, the ipsilateral testicular malondialdehyde values in the morphine group were significantly lower than in the T/D and naltrexone/ morphine groups. Also, significant decreases occurred in catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in the T/D group compared with the control and baseline groups. These values were significantly greater in the morphine group than in the T/D and naltrexone/ morphine groups. The ipsilateral testes of all groups that underwent testicular torsion showed similar histopathologic changes. CONCLUSIONS:
