TXNRD3-deficient sperm undergo more oxidation after capacitation.A, free thiol groups level revealed with ThiolTracker in cauda epididymal sperm from wildtype and Txnrd3−/− mice before and after 90 min capacitation. Arrowheads indicate the position of comparison, and empty arrowheads indicate absence/decrease of intensity. B, protein carbonylation level in sperm before and after capacitation, indicates a higher oxidation in capacitated Txnrd3−/− sperm. The carbonyl groups derivatized by DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) were detected and quantified by western blotting using DNP antibody.
