Background and Objective: This study investigated whether rapamycin has a protective effect on the testis of diabetic rats by regulating autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress. Methods: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, diabetic, and diabetic treated with rapamycin, which received gavage of rapamycin (2mg.kg-1.d-1) after induction of diabetes. Diabetic rats were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 65mg.Kg-1). All rats were sacrificed at the termination after 8 weeks of rapamycin treatment. The testicular pathological changes were determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The protein or mRNA expression of autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), p62), ER stress marked proteins (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP), caspase-12), oxidative stress-related proteins (p22phox, nuclear factor erythroid2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)) and apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)) were assayed by western blot or real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: There were significant pathological changes in the testes of diabetic rats. The expression of Beclin1, LC3, Nrf2, Bcl-2 were significantly decreased and p62, CHOP, caspase12, p22phox, and Bax were notably increased in the testis of diabetic rats (P <0.05). However, rapamycin treatment for 8 weeks significantly reversed the above changes in the testis of diabetic rats (P <0.05). Conclusion: Rapamycin appears to produce a protective effect on the testes of diabetic rats by inducing the expression of autophagy and inhibiting the expression of ER-stress, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

Isoniazid and rifampicin are drugs primarily used in antituberculosis treatment. Our aim in this study is to evaluate the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester's protective effect on liver function tests and to trace elements in hepatic damage caused by isoniazid and rifampicin on rats. Forty Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups. Group 1: Sham, Group 2: caffeic acid phenethyl ester application, Group 3: isoniazid and rifampicin given, Group 4: isoniazid + rifampicin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester application. After 30 days, the rats were sacrificed by taking blood from the heart. Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, zinc, copper, total antioxidant capacity, total oxidative status, and oxidative stress index levels were evaluated. The rats to which isoniazid + rifampicin+ caffeic acid phenethyl ester were given had less oxidative stress and copper levels (P &lt; 0.001, P = 0.019) but have higher zinc levels (P = 0.001) compared to the isoniazid + rifampicin group. Liver enzyme levels were also lower in rats that were given isoniazid + rifampicin + caffeic acid phenethyl ester (P &lt; 0.001). The results of this study suggested that caffeic acid phenethyl ester influences the levels of trace elements (copper and zinc) that are important for the physiologic mechanisms of organisms, reducing liver damage.
