Popis: | This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of puerarin (PUE), which work via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and oxidative stress in the premature ovarian failure (POF) model. Two-month-old female mice were randomly divided into four groups. One group was used as the control, and the other three groups were injected with cyclophosphamide and busulfan to create POF models. Two POF treatment groups were gavaged with 100 or 200 mg/kg PUE for 28 days. Next, the ovaries were fixed, and the numbers of different stage follicles were measured, and the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) was collected. Oct4 and Mvh expression, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity, the oxidative stress factors SOD2 and Nrf2, and the apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by IHC, RT-QPCR, and western blotting. We found that the number of follicles, Oct4 and Mvh expression, and Wnt/β-catenin-signaling activity were reduced in the POF groups (p |
