Metabolomic signature of sperm in men with obesity-associated asthenozoospermia.
Purpose: Obese men have a significantly increased risk of developing asthenozoospermia. Sperm motility is directly related to cellular energy supply and metabolic status. Sperm metabolomics research based on Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology can provide useful information for the pathological mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment of obesity-associated asthenozoospermia.
Methods: Sperm samples were obtained from a healthy control group (n = 49) and patients with obesity-associated asthenozoospermia (n = 40). After the analysis of sperm samples using GC-MS, various multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were conducted.
Results: A total of 56 metabolites were identified in the sperm samples. Among them, 19 differential metabolites were found between the two groups. Metabolites such as glutamic acid, fumaric acid, and cysteine were significantly downregulated in the sperm of patients with obesity-associated asthenozoospermia, while metabolites like palmitic acid, stearic acid, and alanine were significantly upregulated. The differential metabolites were enriched in D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism; proline, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; glutathione metabolism and the other metabolic pathways.
Conclusion: Obesity may influence the composition of metabolic products in sperm, and metabolomic analysis proves beneficial for the future diagnosis and treatment of obesity-associated asthenozoospermia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
