Sažetak
"The aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence of different dietary n6/n3 ratios on the testis histology, antioxidative status and lipogenesis in streptozotocin treated rats. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (55 mg/kg). The rats were divided into 4 groups: CON (n6/n3 ratio, 7), CON-DM1 (STZ ; n6/n3 ratio, 7), N3-DM1 (STZ ; n6/n3 ratio, 1) and N6-DM1 (STZ ; n6/n3 ratio, 60). Antioxidative status was improved in the N3-DM1 group. Seminiferous tubule diameter, testicular pathohistological scoring and total lipid content were improved in the N6-DM1 group compared to the other streptozotocin treated groups. Streptozotocin treatment induced changes in testis fatty acid profile depending on n6/n3 ratio. The fatty acid profile of N6-DM1 group was characterized by similar or increased values for n6 fatty acids compared to the CON group, while the N3-DM1 had the lowest content of n6 fatty acids. The content of n3 fatty acids was increased in the N3-DM1 groups. These results suggest that a n6/n3 ratio could significantly influence testicular antioxidative status, histology and lipogenesis, and that these effects vary depending on the supplemented fatty acid.
