Testicular Metabolic Reprogramming in Neonatal Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats Impairs Glycolytic Flux and Promotes Glycogen Synthesis

Table 3

Metabolite content of testicular tissue in animals from the control (CTR) and T2DM group.

Metabolites (nmol/mg tissue)	CTR	T2DM
Lactate	2.90 ± 0.60	1.45 ± 0.30
Alanine	0.70 ± 0.20	0.73 ± 0.20
Glycogen	0.25 ± 0.03	0.41 ± 0.10
UDP-Glucose	0.48 ± 0.01	0.54 ± 0.01
Lactate/Alanine ratio	3.70 ± 0.30	2.70 ± 0.40

Legend: CTR: control; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM ( for each condition). Significantly different relative to control ().
