Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of a self-designed nutritional preparation on hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis function and energy metabolism in female SD rats exposed to intermittent cold. Methods: Female SD rats were divided into control group, cold exposure group and nutritional preparation group. The control group and cold exposure group were given distilled water by daily gavage, and the nutritional preparation group was given nutritional preparation intragastrically. After the treatment, the cold exposure group and nutritional preparation group were exposed to -10℃ in a cabin for 4 h every day. After being treated for 14 days, the serum, uterus and ovary of rats were collected. The serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and other hormone indicators were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and colorimetry was used to detect ATPase and other energy metabolism related indicators. Results: Compared with the control group, cold exposure significantly up-regulated the protein expressions of FSHR and LHR, and notably enhanced the activity of Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase in ovary and uterus (P<0.05). Nutritional preparation down-regulated the protein expressions of FSHR and LHR, and inhibited the activity of ATPase in ovary and uterus (P<0.05) compared with the cold exposure group. Conclusion: Nutritional preparations can effectively improve the expressions of HPO axis related receptors and abnormal energy metabolism in uterus and ovary caused by intermittent cold exposure.
