Effect of t-TUCB on diabetes-induced alteration in level of testosterone, weight of penile and testes.

Parameters Groups
Normal Control Diabetic Control (DC) DC + t-TUCB 0.1 mg/kg DC + t-TUCB 0.3 mg/kg
Serum testosterone (ng/dL) 96 ± 3a 44 ± 4 56 ± 3 71 ± 3***
Penile weight (g) 0.24 ± 0.01a 0.18 ± 0.01 0.19 ± 0.01* 0.24 ± 0.01***
Testis weight (g) 0.59 ± 0.02a 0.13 ± 0.01 0.33 ± 0.02*** 0.51 ± 0.03***

Level of testosterone and weights of penises and testes were reduced in the diabetic rats, in comparison to the normal healthy rats.

a

p < 0.001. The sEH inhibitor minimized a reduction in the levels of testosterone in diabetic rats. The t-TUCB also minimized a reduction in the weights of penises and testes of diabetic rats, in comparison to diabetic control rats.
