The Effect of Astaxanthin and Metformin on Oxidative Stress in Granulosa Cells of BALB C Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
© 2021. Society for Reproductive Investigation..
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), involved in the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), play a key role in the onset of apoptosis in follicles and granulosa cells (GCs). We aimed to investigate the antioxidant effects of AST and metformin separately and in combination on GCs using a PCOS mouse model. Forty-eight prepubertal female BALB C mice aged 25-30 days and weighing 12-14 g were studied. The PCOS model was created by subcutaneous injection of the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) hormone in 8 mice of BALB C for 20 consecutive days. Apoptosis and the amount of ROS were evaluated in GCs of the ovaries via flow cytometry. The activity of AKT protein was measured by western blot, and the viability of GCs was investigated using spectrophotometry. Ovarian tissue sections were prepared, stained with H&E, and the morphology of the sections was examined. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS v22.0 software using one-way ANOVA. We found that AST administration leads to a significant reduction in oxidative stress (P<0.01) and consequently a significant decrease in the rate of apoptosis (P<0.01). While the expression of AKT in the AST group revealed a significant increase (P<0.05), it decreased in the metformin group. However, it was still significantly higher than the control and PCOS groups. Ovulation was confirmed in both metformin and AST groups. Further studies are warranted to prove the efficacy of AST and to introduce it as a complementary therapeutic agent in PCOS.
