Effect of Different Nourishing Formulas on Spermatogenic Cell Apoptosis of Aging Mice
Objective: To the effect of different nourishing formulas Zuoguiwan
Youguiwan
Liuwei Dihuangwan
Jinkui Shenqiwan
Wuzi Yanzong Wan and Bazhentang on spermatogenic cell apoptosis of aging mice. Method: A total of 80 15-month-old aging mice were divided into 8 groups
aging group
Zuoguiwan group
Youguiwan group
Liuwei Dihuangwan group
Jinkui Shenqiwan group
Wuzi Yanzong Wan group
Bazhentang group and levocarnitine group
with 10 in each group. Another 10 2-month-old young mice were selected as control group. All of the drug groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage at the dosage of 2.5 g · kg-1
and levocarnitine group was intramuscularly injected with the drug at the dosage of 45 mg · kg-1. All mice were administered once a day
for 4 weeks in a row. Twenty-four hours after the last administration
blood was collected from the mice by removing their eyes
and serum was separate to detect the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA)
nitric oxide synthase(NOS)
erythropoietin(EPO)
superoxide dismutase(SOD)
follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)
leuteinizing hormone(LH) and testosterone(T). Then
the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and the expression of Ki-67 in testis were detected in each group. Result: Compared with control group
the contents of MDA
NOS and EPO in aging group increased
with no significant difference in SOD(P<0.05). Compared with aging group
the contents of MDA
NOS and EPO in treatment groups decreased
while their SOD increased (except for Wuzi Yanzong Wan group and Liuwei Dihuangwan)(P<0.05). Compared with control group
aging group's FSN increased
while LH and T significantly decreased(P<0.05). Compared with aging group
the content of FSN significantly decreased
whereas LH and T increased(P<0.05). Based on the immunohistochemical method
compared with control group
aging group's Ki-67 expression in testis decreased
Compared with aging group
Liuwei Dihuangwan group
Wuzi Yanzong Wan group
Bazhentang group and levocarnitine group showed an increase in the expression of Ki-67 in testis(P<0.05). On the basis of Tunel method
compared with control group
the apoptosis rate of spermatogenic cells significantly increased in aging group
while that of all of the treatment groups decreased
especially in the Wuzi Yanzong Wan group(P<0.05). Conclusion: All of the six different nourishing formulas have an inhibitory effect on the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells of aging mice
