RESUMEN

Microcystin (MC) is most common cyanobacterial toxin. Few studies have evaluated the MC effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and metabolic function. In this study, we assessed whether MC exposure results in HPG axis and metabolic changes. Female rats were exposed to a single dose of MC at environmentally relevant levels (5, 20 and 40 µg/kg). After 24 h, we evaluated reproductive and metabolic parameters for 15 days. MC reduced the hypothalamic GnRH protein expression, increased the pituitary protein expression of GnRHr and IL-6. MC reduced LH levels and increased FSH levels. MC reduced the primary follicles, increased the corpora lutea, elevated levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and progesterone, and decreased estrogen levels. MC increased ovarian VEGFr, LHr, AMH, ED1, IL-6 and Gp91-phox protein expression. MC increased uterine area and reduced endometrial gland number. A blunted estrogen-negative feedback was observed in MC rats after ovariectomy, with no changes in LH levels compared to intact MC rats. Therefore, these data suggest that a MC leads to abnormal HPG axis function in female rats.
