Abstract

Goji berries (), rich in antioxidant and immunomodulatory compounds, have shown potential benefits for male reproductive health. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dietary Goji berry (GB) supplementation on immune-related and antioxidant gene expression in the male reproductive tract of rabbits. Eighteen 7-month-old New Zealand White rabbit bucks were randomly assigned to two groups: a control group ( = 9) receiving a standard diet, and a Goji group ( = 9) receiving the same diet supplemented with 1% GB. After 60 days of nutritional adaptation and then 60 days of treatment, tissues from the testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands were collected and analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. Gene expression analysis focused on immune markers (TLR4, IL-1β, IL-10, and TNFα) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD1, CAT, and GPX). Significant modulation was observed only in the epididymis, where TLR4 and GPX were significantly downregulated in the Goji group ( = 0.0274 and = 0.007, respectively), while IL-1β and TNFα showed a downward trend. No significant differences were found in the other tissues. These results suggest that Goji berry supplementation exerts tissue-specific effects, particularly in the epididymis, by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress. This supports its potential use as a natural nutraceutical strategy to enhance male fertility in rabbits.

摘要

枸杞富含抗氧化和免疫调节化合物,已显示出对男性生殖健康的潜在益处。本研究旨在评估日粮添加枸杞对兔雄性生殖道中免疫相关和抗氧化基因表达的影响。将18只7月龄的新西兰白兔雄兔随机分为两组:对照组(n = 9)给予标准日粮,枸杞组(n = 9)给予添加1%枸杞的相同日粮。经过60天的营养适应期,然后进行60天的处理,收集睾丸、附睾、精囊、前列腺和尿道球腺的组织,并使用定量实时PCR进行分析。基因表达分析集中在免疫标志物(TLR4、IL-1β、IL-10和TNFα)和抗氧化酶(SOD1、CAT和GPX)上。仅在附睾中观察到显著调节,枸杞组中TLR4和GPX显著下调(分别为P = 0.0274和P = 0.007),而IL-1β和TNFα呈下降趋势。在其他组织中未发现显著差异。这些结果表明,添加枸杞通过调节炎症和氧化应激发挥组织特异性作用,尤其是在附睾中。这支持了其作为一种天然营养策略来提高兔雄性生育力的潜在用途。
