通过卵巢交互移植,构建实验小鼠的瘦素长受体(LR)基因型组合分别为A(躯体LR+,卵巢LR-)、B(躯体LR+,卵巢LR+)、C(躯体LR-,卵巢LR+)、D(躯体LR-,卵巢LR-)共4组(A组n=10、余皆n=5)。与A、B组比较,C、D组糖脂代谢水平及卵巢功能各项指标之间均存在显著差异。证实卵巢内存在完整的瘦素信号转导系统;卵巢局部瘦素信号转导缺失并不影响卵巢自身的生殖功能。
Four genotypic mice were constructed, by ovary transplantation, with body leptin receptor (LR) + and ovaryLR- in Group A, body LR+ and ovary LR+ in Group B, body LR- and ovary LR+ in Group C, as well as body LR - and ovary LR - in Group D respectively. Mice in C and D groups showed significant differences in glucose and fat metabolism as well as ovarian function as compared with A and B groups. Leptin signal transducting system exists in the ovary. Ovarian failure was induced by hyperlipidemia and lowered gonadotropin levels, but not by defective leptin signal within ovaries in the db/db mice.
