Core Tip	Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious problem that is encountered in several clinical settings. Testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D) is one example. It is known that damage to distant organs can occur following I/R. Significant scientific data and experimental studies demonstrate the antioxidant effects of boric acid (BA), such as increasing antioxidant enzyme levels and reducing oxidative stress. The protective role of BA against potential kidney damage has been investigated. These findings suggest that BA may protect against distant I/R damage from testicular T/D. This may facilitate further research into the use of BA as a treatment for I/R injury.
