Aims: Oxidative stress is considered to be one of the culprits of ovarian dysfunction. Spermidine (SPD) is a natural aliphatic polyamine that is widely present in living organisms and has been shown to exert preventive effects on various ageing-related diseases. This study seeks to investigate the potential preventive and protective effects of SPD on ovarian oxidative damage.

To investigate the relationship between polyamine metabolism and reproductive hormones in ovarian follicles of Sichuan white geese, follicle polyamine content and reproductive hormone levels and gene expressions related to polyamine metabolism, steroidogenesis and steroid hormone receptors were detected by HPLC, ELISA and RT-qPCR. The results showed that the overall trend of spermidine and spermine levels increased first and then decreased as increasing follicle size, with the highest level in F3 and F5 follicles (P < 0.05).

Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine compound that has many biological functions, such as inducing autophagy and anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. Spermidine can affect follicular development and thus protect ovarian function. In this study, ICR mice were fed exogenous spermidine drinking water for three months to explore the regulation of ovarian function by spermidine.

Spermidine is a class of biologically active organic small molecules that play an important role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. The specific objective of this study was to explore the effects of spermidine on intestinal morphology, metabolites, and microbial diversity in mice. We showed that 0.

By genome-wide association studies, the gene has been shown to affect multiple, apparently unrelated inherited traits, including bone density and body mass index. Therefore, it is considered a potentially pleiotropic gene. In this study, we identified a 12 bp deletion variant (NC_030814.
