Nicotine alters oviduct histology and Ajwa date (Phoenix dactylifera) contains antioxidant that prevents nicotine-induced toxicity in the oviduct of adult albino rats. Objectives: To evaluate the protective effect of Ajwa date against oviduct toxicity induced by nicotine in adult albino rats. Material and Methods: This experimental study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Shaikh Zayed Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore. Adult female albino rats of average weight 250 g were randomly divided into three groups A (control group), B, and C (experimental groups), each containing 10 female albino rats. 1 ml/kg distilled water was given to the rats of the control (A) group by gastric intubation, experimental group B was given nicotine injection intraperitoneally (0.1 mg/kg body weight) for 28 days.
