PG - 69-81 LID - S0890-6238(21)00164-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.reprotox.2021.10.008 [doi] AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90-95 % of worldwide diabetes cases and is primarily characterized by insulin resistance. Its progression as a chronic metabolic disease has been largely associated with female reproductive abnormalities, including ovarian dysfunction with consequent infertility. Epigenetic modifications have been suggested as a possible link to metabolic comorbidities. We therefore hypothesized that short chain fatty acids, acetate (ACA), a potential histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC) ameliorates hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) dysfunction in T2DM. Female Wistar rats weighing 160-190 g were allotted into three groups (n = 6/group): Control (vehicle; po), T2D and T2D + ACA (200 mg/kg; po). T2DM was induced by fructose administration (10 %; w/v) for 6 weeks and single dose of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg; ip). The present data showed that in addition to insulin resistance, increased fasting blood glucose and insulin, T2DM induced elevated plasma, hypothalamic and ovarian triglyceride, lipid peroxidation, TNF-alpha and glutathione depletion. Aside, T2DM also led to increased plasma lactate production and gamma-Glutamyl transferase as well as decreased gonadotropins/17beta-estradiol. Histologically, hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries revealed disrupted neuronal cells/moderate hemorrhage, altered morphology/vascular congestions, and degenerated antral follicle/graafian follicle with mild fibrosis and infiltrated inflammatory cells respectively in T2D animals. Interestingly, these alterations were accompanied by elevated plasma/hypothalamic HDAC5 and attenuated when treated with acetate. The present results demonstrate that T2DM induces HPO dysfunction, which is accompanied by elevated circulating/hypothalamic HDAC5. The results in addition suggest that acetate restores HPO function in T2DM by suppression of HDAC5 and enhancement of insulin sensitivity. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
