Lauric acid improves hormonal profiles, antioxidant properties, sperm quality and histomorphometric changes in testis and epididymis of streptozotocin-induced diabetic infertility rats.

[PMID: 37211320 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2023.116558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Lauric acid, a 12‑carbon atom medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) has strong antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. However, whether lauric acid can ameliorate hyperglycaemia-induced male reproductive damage remains unclear. The study aimed to determine the optimal dose of lauric acid with glucose-lowering activity, antioxidant potential and tissue-protective effects on the testis and epididymis of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Hyperglycaemia was induced in Sprague Dawley rats by an intravenous injection of STZ at a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight (bwt). Lauric acid (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg bwt) was administered orally for eight weeks. Weekly fasting blood glucose (FBG), glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were examined. Hormonal profiles (insulin and testosterone), lipid peroxidation (MDA) and antioxidant enzyme (SOD and CAT) activities were measured in the serum, testis and epididymis. The reproductive analyses were evaluated based on sperm quality and histomorphometry. Lauric acid administration significantly improved FBG levels, glucose tolerance, hormones-related fertility and oxidant-antioxidant balance in the serum, testis and epididymis compared to untreated diabetic rats. Treatment with lauric acid preserved the testicular and epididymal histomorphometry, along with the significant improvements in sperm characteristics. It is shown for the first time that lauric acid treatment at 50 mg/kg bwt is the optimal dose for ameliorating hyperglycaemia-induced male reproductive complications. We conclude that lauric acid reduced hyperglycaemia by restoring insulin and glucose homeostasis, which attributes to the regeneration of tissue damage and sperm quality in STZ-induced diabetic rats. These findings support the correlation between oxidative stress and hyperglycaemia-induced male reproductive dysfunctions.

Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infections among Controlled and Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetic Patients at Laquintinie Hospital in Douala, Cameroon. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES & MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY = JOURNAL CANADIEN DES MALADIES INFECTIEUSES ET DE LA MICROBIOLOGIE MEDICALE 2022; 2022:1250264.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients with diabetes are a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries. This study assessed the resistance profile of Escherichia coli and biochemical abnormalities in controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Douala Laquintinie Hospital from January, 2020, to July, 2021, on the diabetic and nondiabetic participants. The clinical symptoms and biochemical parameters of patient having UTIs were measured using standard methods. E. coli was isolated from urine and an antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using the Kirby-Bauer Agar diffusion method. A total of 851 participants were included with a mean age of 48.54 years. Three hundred and forty-six (40.67%) were nondiabetic, 226 (26.56%) were diabetic patients with balanced blood sugar levels (i.e., glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is normal), and 279 (32.78%) were diabetic patients with unbalanced blood sugar levels (i.e., patients having an abnormal HbA1c). The prevalence of UTI caused by E. coli was significantly (p < 0.001) higher in diabetics with unbalanced blood sugar levels (15.41%) and diabetics with balanced blood sugar levels (9.73%) compared to nondiabetics (0.87%). Significant (p < 0.001) high frequencies of polyuria (48.39%), proteinuria (29.75%), leukocyturia (27.96%), and polyphagia (8.24%) were observed in diabetic participants with unbalanced blood sugar levels. Significantly (p < 0.001) high average values of aspartate transaminase (25.34; 27.07; 29.93), alanine transaminase (26.08; 27.38; 28.20), creatininemia (8.15; 9.67; 11.31), total cholesterol (1.57; 1.83; 2.63), and atherogenic index (3.81; 6.56; 11.73) were noted in nondiabetics, balanced, and unbalanced blood glucose diabetics, respectively. E. coli showed a high level of resistance to ciprofloxacin (30%), amoxicillin (10.8%), and ofloxacin (9.3%) in diabetic participants with unbalanced blood sugar levels. The antibiotic resistance patterns of the E. coli to triple, quadruple, and quintuple antibiotics were higher when participants had diabetes and even more when diabetes was not controlled. The present findings underline an increased susceptibility of diabetic patients with unbalanced blood sugar levels to multidrug resistant E. coli. Further studies should be conducted to determine the causal association between uncontrolled diabetes and bacterial multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Diabetes is a rapidly expanding epidemic projected to affect as many as 1 in 3 Americans by 2050. This disease is characterized by devastating complications brought about high glucose and metabolic derangement. The most common of these complications is diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) and estimates suggest that 50-80% of patients experience this disorder. Unfortunately, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study suggests that strict glucose control does not decrease ones risk for incontinence, although it does decrease the risk of other complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. Thus, there is a significant unmet need to better understand DBD in order to develop targeted therapies to alleviate patient suffering. Recently, the research community has come to understand that diabetes produces a systemic state of low-level inflammation known as meta-inflammation and attention has focused on a role for the sterile inflammation-inducing structure known as the NLRP3 inflammasome. In this review, we will examine the evidence that NLRP3 plays a central role in inducing DBD and driving its progression towards an underactive phenotype.

Abstract
Bladder dysfunction in diabetes progresses gradually over time. However, the mechanisms of the development are not clear. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of diabetic bladder dysfunction using an inducible smooth muscle (SM)-specific superoxide dismutase 2 (Sod2) gene knockout (SM-Sod2 KO) mouse model. Eight-week-old male Sod2lox/lox, SM-CreERT2(ki)Cre/+ mice and wild-type mice were assigned to diabetic or control groups. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen was injected into Sod2lox/lox, SM-CreERT2(ki)Cre/+ mice to activate CreERT2-mediated deletion of Sod2. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin, whereas control mice were injected with vehicle. Nine weeks later, bladder function was evaluated, and bladders were harvested for immunoblot analysis. Wild-type diabetic mice presented compensated bladder function along with increased nitrotyrosine and MnSOD in detrusor muscle. Induction of diabetes in SM-Sod2 KO mice caused deteriorated bladder function and even greater increases in nitrotyrosine compared with wild-type diabetic mice. Expression levels of apoptosis regulator Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were increased, but apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 expression was decreased in detrusor muscle of both diabetic groups, with more pronounced effects in SM-Sod2 KO diabetic mice. Our findings demonstrate that exaggerated oxidative stress can accelerate the development of bladder dysfunction in diabetic mice and the enhanced activation of apoptotic pathways in the bladder may be involved in the process.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate that phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitors could potentially treat diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) through modulation of the systemic inflammatory response. METHODS In this 6-week study, 60 female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: (i) vehicle-treated control rats; (ii) vehicle-treated streptozocin (STZ)-injected rats; and (iii) roflumilast-treated STZ-injected rats. Oral roflumilast (5 mg/kg/day) was administered during the last 4 weeks of STZ injection to induce diabetes in the test group. At 6 weeks, a urodynamic study was performed in each group. The expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β in detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) was analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. RESULTS A significant decrease in bodyweight and significant increases in bladder weight and blood glucose level were observed in the diabetic rats and were not ameliorated by roflumilast treatment. Cystometry showed the increased bladder capacity, voiding volume, residual urine volume, and voiding interval in the diabetic rats and the prevention of these changes by roflumilast. These changes were accompanied by significantly enhanced expression of NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in DSM tissue from diabetic rats. Furthermore, roflumilast attenuated the expression of inflammatory factors in DSM tissue. CONCLUSIONS Oral treatment with roflumilast in diabetic rats improves bladder function and inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors in DSM tissue, indicating that PDE4 is a potential therapeutic target for DBD.

Abstract
Purpose Diabetes is a grave and progressive condition characterized by debilitating complications. Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is a very common complication with no specific treatments currently available. Unlike other tissues affected by this disease, the bladder is subjected to two independent insults; 1) polyuria, created by the osmotic effects of glucose in the urine, and 2) hyperglycemia itself. Based on our understanding of inflammation as a major contributor to the underlying organ damage in several other diabetic complications, its presence in the bladder during DBD and the contribution of polyuria and hyperglycemia to its development were assessed. Methods Awake, restrained cystometry was performed on wild type C57BL/6 mice and diabetic (Akita) mice on a C57BL/6 background at 15 weeks of age. A subgroup of the Akita mice were treated with phlorizin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose linked transporter types 1 and 2 that prevents glucose reabsorption in the kidney. All groups were assessed for serum glucose, 4-hour voiding totals, and inflammation in the bladder (Evans blue assay). Results Akita mice develop cystometrically-defined DBD by 15 weeks of age, as evidenced by an increase in urinary frequency, a decrease in voiding volume, and an increase in post-voiding residual volume. Phlorizin effectively normalized serum glucose in these animals while increasing the urine output. Inflammation in the bladder was present in the diabetic animals at this time point, but not detectable in animals receiving phlorizin. Conclusion Inflammation in the bladder of diabetic mice correlates with the development of DBD and is triggered by hyperglycemia, not polyuria.

Abstract
Bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) manifest as urinary frequency, urgency, incontinence and incomplete bladder emptying. Existing treatments ameliorate but do not eliminate most symptoms, leading to financial and personal burdens attributable to sustained medical therapies that may last a lifetime. The purpose of this review is to highlight evidence of causal associations between LUTS and several common comorbidities, including intermittent hypoxia (IH) concomitant with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Links between these conditions, including therapies targeted to co-occurring complications that have demonstrated benefits for LUTS, suggest compelling avenues of research and also underscore critical gaps in understanding the mechanisms underlying urinary dysfunction. These gaps are prominent in the IH field, where an acknowledged link between OSA and LUTS has gone largely uninvestigated. New tools, models, or reappropriation of existing ones, especially rodent models, is required to parse the associations between IH/OSA, LUTS and obesity/diabetes and to elucidate their underlying, and potentially shared, etiologies.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to determine the usefulness of the frequency-volume chart over the International Prostate Symptom Score in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Furthermore, we investigated the clinical characteristics suggesting that patients could benefit from frequency-volume chart assessment in addition to International Prostate Symptom Score assessment. Methods A total of 193 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were analyzed. The relationship between the information obtained from the frequency-volume chart and the International Prostate Symptom Score was assessed. Because the urine output per kilogram per hour was not associated with any question in the International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire, patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of global polyuria, defined as urine output >40 mL·kg-1·h-1. Multivariable analysis was performed to determine the predictors of global polyuria, and the results were externally validated using 397 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Results Although the other information obtained from the frequency-volume chart correlated with the International Prostate Symptom Score, the urine output was not associated with the International Prostate Symptom Score. Based on these results, patients were dichotomized into the global polyuria group (n = 19, 9.8%) and the non-global polyuria group. Although the patient characteristics did not differ between the 2 groups, the number of voids was higher in patients with global polyuria. Multivariable analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (odds ratio: 3.497, p = 0.039) and increased number of voids (odds ratio: 1.320, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of global polyuria. On external validation, the area under curve for the model was 0.723. Conclusions Global polyuria cannot be suspected using the International Prostate Symptom Score, although it worsens the lower urinary tract symptoms of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Assessment with the frequency-volume chart needs to be considered in diabetic patients with increased number of voids.
