The aim of the present experiment was to study the effects of metformin (MF) on serum concentrations of sex hormone, leptin and insulin in ovariectomized (OVX) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The serum estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), leptin and insulin concentrations were measured with radioimmunoassay (RIA). Compared with SHAM operated rats, the serum concentrations of E2 and P were significantly lower (P < 0.01), but leptin and insulin were significantly higher in OVX rats (P < 0.01). MF (135mg kg(-1) d(-1), ig, 30 d) had no evident effects on serum concentrations of E2, P, leptin and insulin in OVX rats. MF (270 mg kg(-1) d(-1), ig, 30 d) markedly increased serum concentrations of E2 and P (P < 0.05) while decreased serum concentrations of leptin and insulin (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01) in OVX rats. We concluded that long-term treatment of high dose MF cannot only significantly decrease serum concentrations of leptin and insulin, but also increase E2 and P in OVX SD rats.
本实验旨在研究二甲双胍(MF)对去卵巢(OVX)的Sprague-Dawley(SD)大鼠血清性激素、瘦素和胰岛素浓度的影响。采用放射免疫分析法(RIA)测定血清雌二醇(E2)、孕酮(P)、瘦素和胰岛素浓度。与假手术大鼠相比,OVX大鼠血清E2和P浓度显著降低(P < 0.01),但瘦素和胰岛素显著升高(P < 0.01)。MF(135mg kg(-1) d(-1),灌胃,30天)对OVX大鼠血清E2、P、瘦素和胰岛素浓度无明显影响。MF(270 mg kg(-1) d(-1),灌胃,30天)可显著提高OVX大鼠血清E2和P浓度(P < 0.05),同时降低血清瘦素和胰岛素浓度(P < 0.05和P < 0.01)。我们得出结论,长期高剂量MF治疗不仅能显著降低OVX SD大鼠血清瘦素和胰岛素浓度,还能提高E2和P浓度。
