Sperm suspension with computer aided of semen analysis (CASA) technique; 2) were stained in the presence of 10 μg/ml Rh123 and PI, mitochondrial transmembrane potential of those was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM). Results Significant differences were found between experimental groups and control groups on viability, straight line velocity, curvilinear velocity, average path velocity, progressive motility of human sperm and number of sperm with normal mitochondrial transmembrane potential (P〈0.01) expect final concentration 30 pg/ml group (P〉0. 05). Sperm motility lowed with increasing rhTNF-α concentration and incubating time (P〈0. 01). Number of sperm with normal mitochondrial transmembrane potential decreased with increasing rhTNF-α concentration and incubating time (P〈0.01). Conclusion rh TNF-α can decrease human sperm motility function in vitro, which can interfere the function of human sperm mitochondrial transmembrane potential and may inhibit sperm mitochondrial enzymatic activities.展开更多
