Effect of Flaxseed on some hormonal profile and genomic DNA concentration in Karadi lambs

Abstract: The aims of the current study were to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of flaxseed powder on some hormonal profile and genomic DNA concentration of Karadi male lambs. Twelve healthy Karadi ram lambs, 6 months old, were randomly divided into 3 equal groups (4 lambs/group); and the treatments were as follow for two months; 0% considered as control group, 4% as a low level (T1), and 8% of flaxseed as a high level (T2) in their feed. Blood samples were collected from each ram lambs every two weeks… Show more

“…The bioactivity of polyphenols depends moreover on several factors including the polyphenol molecular weight, its conjugation with other derivatives, its hydrolysation by digestive tract enzymes (stomach and intestine), the action of rumen or cecal microflora, and the binding affinity for blood plasma proteins [ 57 ].…”

“…Polyphenols may also control steroid function by binding or inactivating sex production enzymes, such as P450 aromatase, 5α-reductase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-OHDH), topoisomerases, and tyrosine kinases. In addition, polyphones can alter sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) affinity, and thus levels of active steroids in blood circulation [ 57 ]. Finally, polyphenols can also affect the reproductive functions through controlling the expression of genes or the activity of enzymes that contribute to the regulation of reproductive events: (1) activity of enzymes controlling DNA replication (topoisomerases I and II) and extracellular signal regulated kinases; (2) antioxidant and inflammatory molecular pathways; (3) cellular apoptotic and proliferation pathways; (4) modification of the expression of genes related to synthesis of angiogenesis factors in different reproductive tissue; (5) epigenetic mechanisms involving both hypermethylation and hypomethylation; (6) regulation of metabolic hormone signals such as growth hormones, insulin-like growth factors, and triiodothyronine; and (7) modification of the expression of genes associated with fatty acids metabolism [ 13 , 55 , 57 , 64 , 65 ].…”

“…The presence of these compounds acting as estrogens may disrupt the metabolism of sex hormones in males and negatively affect reproductive indices. This was evidenced by the results of studies where flaxseeds were used, and not FO [33,34]. It should be mentioned that lignans are weak estrogens [35] and as mentioned earlier, their content in oil is much lower than in seeds, which minimizes the risk of adverse effects.…”
