Abstract:
Objective Type 1 diabetes mice model was established to investigate the changes of key enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis in testes of early diabetic mice.Methods Tatolly 20 male C57 mice were randomly divided into two groups:control and diabetic groups,and the diabetes mice were ip administered with a single dose of 150 mg/kg Streptozotocin.Four weeks after confirmation of diabetic model,the serum and testis were collected for further study.The qRT-PCR method was used to measure the expression of LHR and steroidogenesis synthetase StAR,P450scc,3β-HSD6,P450c17a1,and 17β-HSD3 mRNA.ELISA assay was performed to measure the levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) in serum,and the enzymatic activities of 3β-HSD1,1P450c17 and 17β-HSD3 in testis tissue.Results Compared to control group,the levels of testosterone and LH of diabetic group declined significantly (P ＜ 0.05) after four weeks.The mRNA levels of LHR,StAR,CYP11a1,Hsd3b6,CYP17a1 and Hsd17b3,and enzymatic activities of 3β-HSD6,P450c17 and 17β-HSD3 were also decreased significantly compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05,0.01 and 0.001).Conclusion Expression of key enzymes of testosterone synthesis in testis of early diabetic mice decreases significantly.
