BACKGROUND: Spermidine is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including mammalian oocyte development. Wheat germ is a natural source of polyamines and contains high concentrations of spermidine. However, no studies have evaluated the effects of wheat germ-derived spermidine on the regulation of mammalian ovarian function. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of wheat germ-derived spermidine on mammalian ovarian function.
METHODS: A feeding trial was carried out on mice with diets supplemented with varying concentrations of spermidine. The underlying mechanism by which spermidine exerts its beneficial effects on ovarian function and fertility in mice was explored through the integration of serum metabolomics and intestinal microbiomics analyses.
RESULTS: The results showed that dietary spermidine-rich feed significantly increased spermidine absorption and affected the metabolism of spermine and putrescine in the intestines. Dietary intake of low-concentration spermidine significantly increased the number of pups per litter and the secretion levels of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), luteinizing hormone (LH), and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Furthermore, compared with a normal diet, spermidine supplementation resulted in significantly higher ovarian reserves and fewer atretic follicles. Correspondingly, metabolomics analysis revealed that spermidine primarily affected lipid metabolism and endocrine functions related to reproduction. In addition, dietary spermidine significantly altered the structural composition of the gut microbiota. Correlation analysis demonstrated that the abundance of Oceanisphaera, Atopostipes, and Actinobacteriota was significantly positively correlated with the secretion of E2, P4, and LH.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these findings yield phenotypic insights into spermidine's mediation of mammalian reproductive performance and offer a potential therapeutic strategy for individuals with reproductive dysfunction.
