this study examined the metformin (MF) and/or chitosan stabilized selenium nanoparticles (CH-SeNPs) efficacy to alleviate the male reproductive function impairment in a high-fat diet feed with low-dose streptozotocin (HFD/STZ) induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diabetic rat model.
control non-diabetic, HFD/STZ diabetic, HFD/STZ+MF, HFD/STZ+CH-SeNPs, and HFD/STZ+MF+CH-SeNPs rat groups were used. After 60 days, semen evaluation, hormonal assay, enzymatic antioxidant, lipid peroxidation, testis histopathology, and the steroidogenesis-related genes mRNA expressions were assessed.
in the HFD/STZ diabetic rats, sperm count and motility, male sexual hormones, and testicular antioxidant enzymes were significantly reduced. However, sperm abnormalities and testicular malondialdehyde were significantly incremented. The steroidogenesis-related genes, including steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAr), cytochrome11A1 (CYP11A1), cytochrome17A1 (CYP17A1), and hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 3 (HSD17B3), and the mitochondrial biogenesis related genes, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGCα) and sirtuin (SIRT), were significantly downregulated in the HFD/STZ diabetic rats. However, CYP19A1mRNA expression was significantly upregulated. In contrast, MF and/or CH-SeNPs oral dosing significantly rescued the T2DM-induced sperm abnormalities, reduced sperm motility, diminished sexual hormones level, testicular oxidative damage, and steroidogenesis-related genes dysregulation. In the MF and CH-SeNP co-treated group, many of the estimated parameters differ considerably from single MF or CH-SeNPs treated groups.
the MF and CH-SeNPs combined treatment could efficiently limit the diabetic complications largely than monotherapeutic approach and they could be considered a hopeful treatment option in the T2DM.
本研究检测了二甲双胍(MF)和/或壳聚糖稳定化硒纳米颗粒(CH-SeNPs)对高脂饮食联合低剂量链脲佐菌素(HFD/STZ)诱导的2型糖尿病(T2DM)大鼠模型雄性生殖功能损伤的缓解作用。
使用对照非糖尿病组、HFD/STZ糖尿病组、HFD/STZ+MF组、HFD/STZ+CH-SeNPs组和HFD/STZ+MF+CH-SeNPs组大鼠。60天后,评估精液、激素检测、酶促抗氧化、脂质过氧化、睾丸组织病理学以及类固醇生成相关基因的mRNA表达。
在HFD/STZ糖尿病大鼠中,精子数量和活力、雄性性激素以及睾丸抗氧化酶显著降低。然而,精子异常和睾丸丙二醛显著增加。在HFD/STZ糖尿病大鼠中,类固醇生成相关基因,包括类固醇生成急性调节蛋白(StAr)、细胞色素P450侧链裂解酶(CYP11A1)、细胞色素P450 17α-羟化酶(CYP17A1)和17-β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶3(HSD17B3),以及线粒体生物发生相关基因,包括过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ辅激活因子1α(PGCα)和沉默调节蛋白(SIRT),均显著下调。然而,细胞色素P450芳香化酶(CYP19A1)mRNA表达显著上调。相比之下,口服MF和/或CH-SeNPs可显著挽救T2DM诱导的精子异常、降低精子活力、降低性激素水平、减轻睾丸氧化损伤以及改善类固醇生成相关基因失调。在MF和CH-SeNPs联合治疗组中,许多评估参数与单一MF或CH-SeNPs治疗组有很大差异。
MF和CH-SeNPs联合治疗比单一治疗方法能更有效地限制糖尿病并发症,它们可被认为是T2DM的一种有前景的治疗选择。
