The aim of this study was to assess the potential of dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR123) to measure oxidative stress produced by human spermatozoa. The results were compared with 2', 7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) that is routinely used for assessment of H2O2 produced by spermatozoa. Fluorescence intensity and percentage R123 and DCF positive sperm were measured by flow cytometry. The optimal condition for assessment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by sperm with DHR123 was 0.05 mu M for 1 million sperm per ml for 20 minutes. The results of ROS measurement by DHR123 showed a significant correlation (r = +0.818, P < 0.001) with DCFH-DA staining. Immunofluorescence of sperm stained with DHR123 revealed ROS production in the sperm mid-piece. In addition a significant correlation was observed between oxidant production assessed by DHR123 and semen parameters. Therefore, DHR123 may be considered a suitable probe for estimating oxidants produced by human spermatozoa, and can present heterogeneity in oxidant production between different samples.
