  • yellow represents non-motile sperm.
  • the left graph in FIG. 2B is a bar graph of the sperm motility obtained from this micrograph. As can be seen from this bar graph, it was found that the heat treatment at 60° C. resulted in almost zero sperm motility.
  • the graph on the right of Figure 2B is the result of adding nitroxyl radicals to bovine sperm and measuring radical changes with ESR. Radical signals obtained by ESR measurement were plotted with time on the horizontal axis and radical concentration (logarithmic display) on the vertical axis. The slope of this graph indicates the metabolic rate. As can be seen from this graph, nitroxyl radicals are metabolized without heat treatment, whereas the reaction rate (metabolism) of nitroxyl radicals stops with heat treatment. From this, it was found that sperm activity can be evaluated by using nitroxyl radicals.
  • Example 3 Effect of mitochondrial function inhibitor on sperm motility It was confirmed whether sperm motility can be evaluated by the method using the nitroxyl radical compound of the present disclosure when a mitochondrial function inhibitor (KCN) is added to bovine sperm to reduce motility.
  • KCN mitochondrial function inhibitor
  • the micrograph on the left of Fig. 3A is the result of measuring the motility of normal bovine sperm using CASA, which showed a motility of 92%.
  • mitochondrial function inhibitor KCN
  • KCN mitochondrial function inhibitor
  • the graph in Fig. 3B is the result of adding nitroxyl radicals to bovine sperm and measuring radical changes with ESR.
  • nitroxyl radicals probes
  • bovine spermatozoa and nitroxyl radicals were mixed
  • nitroxyl radicals were metabolized when KCN was not added. It has been found that stopping mitochondrial function with KCN stops the metabolism of nitroxyl radicals.
  • Example 4 Relationship between sperm quality or number and nitroxyl radical metabolic rate
  • sperm quality or number and nitroxyl radical (probe) metabolic rate was investigated.
  • the graph on the left side of FIG. 4 shows the results of preparing spermatozoa having different motility rates and reacting them with nitroxyl radicals.
  • Sperm with different motility were prepared by measuring the motility of sperm at 0, 2, and 4 hours after thawing with CASA, and reactions with nitroxyl radicals were observed at each time. From this graph, it was found that the metabolic rate of nitroxyl radicals also changed in proportion to the motility of sperm.
  • the graph on the right side of FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between sperm count and nitroxyl radical metabolism.
  • Thawed bovine sperm was diluted 2-fold, 4-fold, and 8-fold with a buffer solution to prepare solutions with different numbers of sperm cells, which were then mixed with nitroxyl radicals to confirm reactivity. From this graph, it was found that diluting the bovine sperm to reduce the number decreased the metabolic rate of nitroxyl radicals proportionally.
  • Example 5 Diagnostic system
  • a test kit containing a test solution containing a nitroxyl radical compound is sent to a person's home or the like.
  • the test subject himself/herself mixes the sperm into the tube containing the test drug and leaves it for a certain period of time.
  • the tube is mixed with a reaction terminating agent to stop the reaction.
  • the tube containing the mixed sperm solution is returned to the testing institution, and the nitroxyl radical metabolism is measured by ESR or DNP to test or diagnose male infertility in the subject.
  • This disclosure is useful when performing a simple sperm test easily at home.
