The present study investigated the impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on the oxidative status and sperm characteristics in diabetic rat testicular tissue. Forty male albino rats were used in this study; 10 of them served as a control and 30 rats were injected with a single dose (100 mg/kg) of streptozotocin intraperitoneally. They were subdivided into diabetic, diabetic + ZnONPs (10 mg/kg B.W.), and diabetic and cotreated with ZnONPs + insulin groups. The sperm count and motility were assessed. The activity and mRNA expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GRD), and Glutathion-S-Transferase (GST) were determined in the testicular tissue. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were estimated in the testicular tissue. Sperm count and motility increased in ZnONPs treated diabetic rats. A significant increase in the activity and mRNA expression of SOD, CAT, GPx, GRD, and GST was shown in ZnONPs treated diabetic rats. MDA significantly decreased, while GSH increased in testicular tissue of ZnONPs treated diabetic rats. It was concluded that ZnONPs either alone or in combination with insulin have the ability to increase the sperm count and motility and protect the testicular tissue against the oxidative stress induced by diabetes in rats.

In recent years, different studies carried out in experimental diabetes models suggest that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) can be good antidiabetic agents, this evidence was obtained from long-term treatments using repeated doses of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The goal of this work was to evaluate the acute effects during six hours post-administration of ZnONPs on glycemia in healthy and diabetic rats and to compare the effects of oral and intraperitoneal administration. For this study male Wistar rats were used and experimental diabetes was induced by streptozotocin-nicotinamide intraperitoneal administration. At short-term ZnONPs administration induced hyperglycemic response in healthy and diabetic rats, the effect was dose-dependent and administration route. The diabetic rats were more sensitive to ZnONPs effect. In conclusion, this study provides novel information about the acute effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the fasting glycemia in experimental diabetes in vivo model and healthy rats, these data are important for its future clinical applications.
