The antioxidant vitamin E could reduce such osteonecrosis. Sixty adult male albino rats were grouped into: GЇ (normal control), GII (sham control), GIII - MPSL subdivided into: (III - A - 3 days) and (III - B - 3 weeks), GIV (MPSL and vitamin E) subdivided into; (IV - A - 3 days) and (IV - B - 3 weeks). GIII showed femoral head cortical and medullary pleopathological changes, which were reduced in GIV after vitamin E adminstration, being more in subgroup IV - B than IV - A demonstrating a duration dependency UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
