Dietary pattern and cooking methods are important factors to determine the nutrients supplementation for male reproduction. Methionine and choline are two methyl donors in daily diet, which could mediate the lipid metabolism, but their effects on the sperms are not clear. In this study, we fed the mice with methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet or the baked MCD diet for 6 weeks to evaluate this dietary pattern and the appended high temperature cooking on the spermatogenesis. The results have shown that MCD diet induced testis degradation and the damage of spermatocytes, reduced sperm vitality, motility, but elevated sperm deformity. Additionally, baking of MCD diet aggravated the testis injury, further reduced sperm density, sperm motility, and decreased normal sperm morphology dramatically. These changes were not related to the blood-testis barrier nor the Leydig cells dysfunction, but related to spermatocytes lost and apoptosis. The spermatocyte apoptosis was mediated by reticulum stress, including GRP78, XBP-1 and CHOP gene expression. Our study has shown the importance of methionine and choline in diet, and emphasized the crucial role of cooking condition, which are dietary factors to influence the quality of sperms.

D002796 Choline Deficiency A condition produced by a deficiency of CHOLINE in animals. Choline is known as a lipotropic agent because it has been shown to promote the transport of excess fat from the liver under certain conditions in laboratory animals. Combined deficiency of choline (included in the B vitamin complex) and all other methyl group donors causes liver cirrhosis in some animals. Unlike compounds normally considered as vitamins, choline does not serve as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984) Deficiency, Choline,Choline Deficiencies,Deficiencies, Choline
