| Sumario: | Abstract The protective effects of Kisspeptin on heat-induced oxidative stress in rats were investigated by using a combination of biochemical parameters and metabonomics. Metabonomic analyses were performed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in conjunction with multivariate and univariate statistical analyses. At the end point of the heat stress experiment, histological observation, ultrastructural analysis and biochemical parameters were measured. Metabonomic analysis of liver tissue revealed that Kisspeptin mainly attenuated the alteration of purine metabolism and fatty acid metabolism pathways. Futhermore, Kisspeptin also increased the levels of GSH, T-AOC as well as SOD activities, and upregulated MDA levels. These results provide important mechanistic insights into the protective effects of Kisspeptin against heat-induced oxidative stress. |
