From: N-thiocarboxyanhydrides, amino acid-derived enzyme-activated H2S donors, enhance sperm mitochondrial activity in presence and absence of oxidative stress

Effect of N-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NTAs) on porcine sperm function under H2O2-induced oxidative stress. A Mitochondrial activity; B Redox status; C Plasma membrane integrity; D Acrosomal status. Samples were analyzed after 1.5 h incubation at 38 °C. Oxidative stress was induced by exposing sperm cells to H2O2 10 μM. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among treatments (p < 0.05). Ctr: control; Ctr-ox: control under induced oxidative stress. Gly-NTA: NTA derived from glycine; Leu-NTA: NTA derived from leucine; ORP: oxidation–reduction potential. Data are shown as mean ± SD of six replicates
