Representative images of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release in porcine sperm cells supplemented with or without N-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NTAs) after 3.5 h of incubation at 38 °C. A Negative control group supplemented with dimethylsulfoxide only (vehicle); B Positive control group supplemented with the fast H2S-releasing donor Na2S 30 μM; C Samples supplemented with NTA derived from glycine (Gly-NTA) 10 nM; D Samples supplemented with Gly-NTA 1 nM; E Samples supplemented with NTA derived from leucine (Leu-NTA) 10 nM; F Samples supplemented with Leu-NTA 1 nM. Samples were stained with H2S selective fluorescent probe WSP-5
