چکیده

According to the "developmental origin of health and disease" hypothesis, the metabolic set points of glucose and lipid metabolism are determined prenatally. In the case of a diabetic pregnancy, the embryo is exposed to higher glucose and lipid concentrations as early as during preimplantation development. We used the rabbit to study the effect of maternal diabetes type 1 on lipid accumulation and expression of lipogenic markers in preimplantation blastocysts. Accompanied by elevated triglyceride and glucose levels in the maternal blood, embryos from diabetic rabbits showed a massive intracellular lipid accumulation and increased expression of fatty acid transporter 4, fatty acid-binding protein 4, perilipin/adipophilin, and maturation of sterol-regulated element binding protein. However, expression of fatty acid synthase, a key enzyme for de novo synthesis of fatty acids, was not altered in vivo. During a short time in vitro culture of rabbit blastocysts, the accumulation of lipid droplets and expression of lipogenic markers were directly correlated with increasing glucose concentration, indicating that hyperglycemia leads to increased lipogenesis in the preimplantation embryo. Our study shows the decisive effect of glucose as the determining factor for fatty acid metabolism and intracellular lipid accumulation in preimplantation embryos.

Haptoglobin expression and release by rabbit oviduct and endometrium, its localization in blastocyst extra-embryonic matrix and fluid during preimplantation time.

BACKGROUND Evidence is emerging that haptoglobin, an acute phase protein with immunomodulatory properties, is expressed by the endometrium of various species. The present study describes an in-depth investigation of haptoglobin expression and release in the rabbit reproductive tract and in preimplantation embryos. METHODS The full-length cDNA sequence of rabbit haptoglobin was determined by r...

Adiponectin stimulates lipid metabolism via AMPK in rabbit blastocysts

STUDY QUESTION How does a maternal diabetic hyperadiponectineamia affect signal transduction and lipid metabolism in rabbit preimplantation blastocysts? SUMMARY ANSWER In a diabetic pregnancy increased levels of adiponectin led to a switch in embryonic metabolism towards a fatty acid-dependent energy metabolism, mainly affecting genes that are responsible for fatty acid uptake and turnover. ...

P-25: Study of the Effect of Experimental Diabetes Induced by STZ on In vitro Fertilization and Preimplantation Embryo Development Rate in Male Mouse Model

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by a deficiency in the pancreatic secretion of insulin and/or by the inability of tissues to efficiently respond to insulin, events that cause hyperglycemia and affect all organs.Tissue alterations caused by diabetes affect different organic systems , including the male reproductive system. Reproductive dysfunction is one of the common secondar...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels secondary to absolute impairment of insulin secretion. Maternal diabetes has been demonstrated to adversely affect pre implantation embryo development and pregnancy outcomes. Emerging evidence has implicated that these effects are associated with compromised oocyte competence. Several developme...

Steroidogenesis in rabbit preimplantation embryos.

Rabbit preimplantation embryos were flushed from the reproductive tract at 24 hr (1- to 2-cell stage), 48 hr (morula), 72 hr (morula), 96 hr (blastocyst), 120 hr (blastocyst), and 144 hr (blastocyst) post coitum. At 168 hr (early postimplantation period), gestation sacs were excised, frozen, and sectioned in a cryostat. Delta5-3beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase [3(or 17)beta-hydroxysteroid:NAD(...
