Adropin, a hepatokine, is a well-known insulin sensitizer that regulates glucose and lipid homeostasis. Our recent reports demonstrated the vital role of adropin in the regulation of testicular activity, but its role in testicular function during pathological conditions such as hyperglycemia has not yet been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of adropin treatment on reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions in hyperglycemic mice. Hyperglycemia was induced by streptozotocin (55 mg/kg body weight; i.p.) treatment followed by treatment with either adropin (450 nmol/kg body weight; i.p.) or metformin (500 mg/kg body weight; orally) for a period of 15 days. Treatment of hyperglycemic mice enhanced insulin sensitivity by increasing insulin receptor expression in the testis and decreasing HOMA-IR and circulating glucose level. Adropin treatment of hyperglycemic mice increased the production of testicular testosterone by promoting the expression of steroidogenic proteins. Moreover, adropin treatment also enhanced the proliferation and survival of testicular germ cells by increasing PCNA expression and decreasing BAX/Bcl2 ratio and TUNEL-positive cells in the testis of hyperglycemic mice. Flow cytometric analysis revealed an increased number of advanced germ cells in adropin-treated hyperglycemic mice. Notably, adropin treatment was more effective than metformin in restoring reproductive functions in hyperglycemic mice, as evidenced by the reestablishment of the testicular histoarchitecture and increased synthesis of testosterone in the testes. These findings suggest that adropin may serve as a viable therapeutic alternative to mitigate hyperglycemia-associated testicular dysfunction.</p>","PeriodicalId":15740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144540455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the later stage of the disease, the predominance of PTH led to the activation of 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis, which resulted in the rebuilding of Klotho resources and allowed FGF-23 to take over a phosphaturic role. As a result, PTH/1,25(OH)2D3/Klotho signaling seems to exert a procalcifying effect.

The purpose of this study was to identify molecular mechanisms in subcutaneous (SQAT) and visceral AT (VAT) which may help characterize GDM and pinpoint those that contribute to its pathology. SQAT and VAT samples were collected from 22 NGT and six GDM pregnant women undergoing a C-section.

Blood was assessed for concentrations of adiponectin, brain neurotrophic factor, C-reactive protein, and non-esterified fatty acids (via ELISA). In GDM, VAT protein content was lower for oxidative phosphorylation complexes CI-CIII, adiponectin, and adipose triglyceride lipase. Gene expression of adiponectin, estrogen receptor β, uncoupling protein 1, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma was also lower in GDM mothers, while gene expression of an anti-inflammatory macrophage marker was higher. No differences in the measured blood markers were found. Mothers with GDM differentially express AT adipokines and genes associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and altered lipid metabolism relative to mothers with NGT.</p>","PeriodicalId":15740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144028241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
