摘要: 30只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为正常对照组(对照组)、糖尿病维生素B12治疗组(治疗组)及糖尿病对照组(糖尿病组)。糖尿病大鼠模型用链脲佐菌素(STZ)腹腔注射诱导。治疗组成模后8d始肌肉注射甲基维生素B12(500μg/kg)其余两组注射等量生理盐水。实验60d结束时测定血糖及体重,断头处死大鼠采血测定睾酮及睾丸组织hCG结合位点。结果显示对照组体重明显高于其余两组;而对照组血糖低于其余两组(P<0.01),治疗组与糖尿病组间体重及血糖无明显差异(P>0.05)。对照组睾酮高于其余两组(P<0.01),而治疗组又高于糖尿病组(P<0.05);对照组hCG结合位点显著高于其余两组(P<0.01),治疗组又高于糖尿病组(P<0.01)。结果提示糖尿病使大鼠睾酮分泌及睾丸组织hCG结合位点均降低,而甲基维生素B12对睾丸间质细胞功能及结构的维持有一定作用。维生素B12对大鼠血糖及体重无明显影响。Abstract: To investigate the effect of Methylcobalamin on the secretion of testosterone in diabetic rats. 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal group, diabetic rats treated with Methylcobalamin group and diabetic rats (DM) group. The diabetic rat model was induced by STZ. Methylcobalamin (500 μg/kg) was injected intramuscularly in Methylcobalamin treated group and same volume of saline was injected in the other groups. At the end of the 60 days trial, the blood glucose, body weight, testosterone and hCG binding site of testis were measured. The results showed that body weight of normal group was significantly higher than that of other groups; blood glucose of normal group was lower than that of other groups; there were no significant differences in body weight and blood glucose between methylcobalamin treated group and DM group; the testosterone and hCG binding sites of normal group were significantly higher than those of other two groups (P <0.01), the testosterone and hCG binding site of methylcobalamin treated group were higher than that of DM group. The results suggest that diabetes has an obvious effect on testosterone secretion and hCG binding site, both of them being reduced; whereas, methylcobalamin may protect Leydig cells from damage of diabetes, but the mechanism is unclear. Moreover the methylcobalamin has no effect on body weight and blood glucose of diabetic rats.
