Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the presence and type of cardiovascular damage in normogonadic and hypogonadic male rats with a induced condition of mild hyperuricemia and exposed to a high-fructose diet. Methods: Fifty six (56) male adult Wistar rats were used in the present work. Animals were divided into two groups; normogonadic (NGN) and hypogonadic (HGN), and each group was divided into four subgroups according to their treatment: control with only water (C), Fructose (F), Oxonic acid (OA) and Fructose plus Oxonic acid (FOA). Cardiovascular changes were evaluated by measuring systolic blood pressure , myocyte volume, fibrosis and intima media of aorta. Results: The FOA group significantly increased blood pressure, myocyte volume (p<0.0001), the percentage of fibrosis was significant in the group receiving OA (p<0.001). When comparing NGN vs HGN, hypogonadic animals showed a less favorable lipid profile. Conclusion: Hypogonadic, hyperuricemic conditions and a high-fructose diet favor blood pressure increase , along with changes in the cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and thickness increase of the intima media.
