Also, adropin treatment reduced the oxidative/nitrosative stress by facilitating the translocation of NRF2 and inhibiting NF-κB into the nucleus of germ cells. Enhanced nuclear translocation of NRF2 leads to elevated biosynthesis of antioxidant enzymes, evident by increased HO-1, SOD, and catalase activity that ultimately resulted into declined LPO levels in adropin-treated mice testes. Furthermore, adropin decreased nuclear translocation of NF-κB in germ cells, that resulted into decreased NO production leading to decreased nitrosative stress. Adropin/GPR19 signaling significantly increased its differentiation, proliferation, and survival of germ cells by elevating the expression of PCNA and declining caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3 expression, Bax/Bcl2 ratio, and TUNEL-positive cells.

The relationship between stress and cancer is interconnected, with anxiety and depression being common in cancer patients. Cancer diagnosis and treatment can cause lasting changes in the body's neuroendocrine system, with stress causing an excessive release of catecholamines and prostaglandins in patients undergoing cancer surgery, which promotes the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.
