چکیده

Traditional seminal fluid-based clinical descriptors used to predict infertility and sub-fertility have shortcomings, including lack of insight into the underlying pathology. These methods are also time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these limitations, (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to identify and classify signature biomarkers. Semen samples collected from 60 healthy, fertile men and from 125 infertile (normozoospermic and oligozoospermic) patients. Lactate, alanine, choline, citrate, glycerophosphocholine (GPC), glutamine, tyrosine, histidine, phenylalanine, and uridine were measured by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The sperm concentration, motility, lipid peroxidation, and total protein were evaluated with standard laboratory methods in the same samples. NMR-quantified metabolites and clinical laboratory data were analyzed, separately, through linear multivariate discriminant function analysis (DFA) to determine the signature descriptors for each group. DFA reveals that alanine, citrate, GPC, tyrosine, and phenylalanine can be used to determine infertility. DFA-based classification demonstrated high accuracy (92.4% by NMR and 94.1% by clinical laboratory method) in differentiating healthy controls from infertile patients. This statistical analysis was also able to accurately classify normozoospermic to oligozoospermic samples (92.9% by NMR and 92.6% by clinical laboratory method). In conclusion, (1)H NMR-based metabolic screening appears to be a promising, rapid, and non-invasive approach to probing infertility that has similar sensitivity and specificity to the tedious laboratory method.

Diagnosis of coronary heart disease based on 1H NMR spectra of human blood plasma using genetic algorithmbased feature selection

H NMR spectroscopy was used for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) by using human blood plasma samples. One-dimensional H NMR spectra from 29 normal and 35 CHD patients were obtained and investigated. Classification model was built on the basis of linear discriminant analysis in order to establish adequate model for discrimination between pathological and normal samples. Because of h...

1H NMR-based Plasma Metabolic Profiling of Dairy Cows with Type I and Type II Ketosis

This study identified differences in plasma metabolites among three groups of dairy cows: type I ketotic (K1), type II ketotic (K2), and healthy control cows (C). 50 cows with two or three parities were selected at 7–28 days postpartum. Cows were classified as type I ketotic (K1, 20 cows), type II ketotic (K2, 20 cows), or healthy control cows (C, 10 cows). Plasma metabolomic profiles were anal...

Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant in Seminal Plasma and Their Impact on Male Fertility

Spermatozoa generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in physiological amounts which play a role in sperm functions during sperm capacitation acrosome reaction (AR) and oocyte fusion. In addition damaged sperm are likely to be the source of ROS. The most important ROS produced by human sperm are hydrogen peroxide superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Besides human seminal plasma and sperm posses...

Seminal plasma enables selection and monitoring of active surveillance candidates using nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics: A preliminary investigation

Background Diagnosis and monitoring of localized prostate cancer requires discovery and validation of noninvasive biomarkers. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics of seminal plasma reportedly improves diagnostic accuracy, but requires validation in a high-risk clinical cohort. Materials and methods Seminal plasma samples of 151 men being investigated for prostate cancer were an...
