In addition, diabetic patients experience exacerbation of symptoms during viral infections, which contribute to the progression of the pathological condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the effects of the association between DM and Zika virus (ZIKV) infection on reproductive parameters using a murine model. Ninety-six adult BALB\/C mice were used, divided into four groups: Control, Diabetic, ZIKV-infected, and Diabetic plus ZIKV-infected. These animals were euthanized at 28- and 42-day post-infection (dpi). The animals were weighed and anesthetized, blood was collected by cardiac puncture, and the testicles were collected and stored according to the needs of the analyses. Alterations were observed in body and testicular biometric parameters, lactate dehydrogenase and transferrin levels, oxidative stress, and changes in cytokine expression patterns. It was concluded that either ZIKV infection or diabetes alone causes reproductive harm to these animals; however, their combination exacerbates the damage. Some altered parameters can return to normal in the ZIKV-infected group, but this is not seen in the hyperglycemia group. When combined with ZIKV infection, prolonged hyperglycemia further worsens the damage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/rep-25-0083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,20]],"date-time":"2025-08-20T17:28:19Z","timestamp":1755710899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Hyperglycemia and ZIKV infection cause physiological, immune, and oxidative testicular dysregulation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"170","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6530-4684","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fernanda Carolina Ribeiro","family":"Dias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Recife, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Structural Biology, Federal University of Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro, Uberaba, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcos de Lucca Moreira","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Structural Biology, Federal University of Tri\u00e2ngulo Mineiro, Uberaba, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katharina Medeiros Costa","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anderson Arnaldo da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Student in the Biosciences and Biotechnology in Health Program, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Poliana Gomes da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Student in the Biosciences and Biotechnology in Health Program, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda Vasconcelos do","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Student in the Biosciences and Biotechnology in Health Program, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginia Maria Barros de","family":"Lorena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindomar Jos\u00e9","family":"Pena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Virology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduardo Carvalho","family":"Lira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luiz Carlos","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio Andr\u00e9 Brayner","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology, Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Recife, PE, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valdemiro Amaro da","family":"Silva-Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Anat Rec","first-page":"239","article-title":"Estimation of nuclear populations from microtome sections","volume":"94","author":"Abercrombie M","year":"1946","unstructured":"Abercrombie M\n\n 1946 Estimation of nuclear populations from microtome sections.
