[Effect of moxibustion on Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in rats with diminished ovarian reserve].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of moxibustion on Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in rats with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), and to explore the protective mechanism of moxibustion on ovarian reserve function. METHODS: ), anti Mullerian hormone (AMH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA); the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in ovarian tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry; real-time PCR (TaqMan probe method) was used to detect the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA. RESULTS: <0.01). CONCLUSION: Moxibustion could reduce the rate of estrus cycle disorder, improve the level of serum sex hormones and antioxidant stress in DOR rats, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
