摘要: Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have gained considerable attention for application in science and industry. However, the untoward effects of such particles on female fertility remain unclear. The objectives this study were to (1) examine 10-nm GNPs progesterone estradiol-17β accumulation by rat ovaries ex vivo (2) identify locus/loci whereby modulate steroidogenesis via multiple-reference gene quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Regression analyses indicated a positive relationship between both Star (p < 0.05, r(2) = 0.278) Cyp11a1 0.001, 0.366) expression P4 upon exposure 1.43 × 10(6) GNPs/mL. Additional showed that E2 was positively associated with Hsd3b1 0.181) Cyp17a1 0.01, 0.301) 1(3) 10(9) GNPs/mL, respectively. These results suggest subtle treatment-dependent impact low-dose or specific steroidogenic target genes, independent oxidative stress inhibin.
