چکیده انگلیسی
Orexin A (OXA), a hypothalamic neuropeptide, regulates food intake, sleep-wake cycle and energy balance by binding to its receptor (OX1R). Apart from brain, OXA and OX1R are also present in peripheral organs including reproductive tissues. Mammalian reproduction depends on uptake and proper utilization of glucose in the testes. This study, therefore, examined role of OXA/OX1R system in regulation of glucose homeostasis in adult mouse testis under in vivo and ex vivo conditions. Binding of OXA to OX1R was blocked using an OX1R antagonist, SB-334867. Mice were given a single bilateral intratesticular injection of the antagonist at doses of 4 and 12μg/mouse and sacrificed 24â¯h post-injection. In order to understand the direct role of OXA in testes of adult mice, an ex vivo experiment was performed where binding of OXA to OX1R in the testis was blocked by using the same OX1R antagonist. The antagonist treatment affected testicular glucose and lactate concentration with concomitant down-regulation in the expression of glucose transporters 3 and 8. A decreased activity in lactate dehydrogenase enzyme and imbalance between germ cell survival and proliferation were also noted in testes in treated mice. The results of ex vivo study supported the results obtained from in vivo study. The findings thus suggest involvement of OXA/OX1R system in regulation of testicular glucose homeostasis and germ cell kinetics in adult mice.
