Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular to the application of pyruvic acid compounds in enhancing sperm motility. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sperm motility is one of the key factors determining male fertility, directly affecting the sperm's ability to move in the female reproductive tract, penetrate, and successfully combine with the ovum. However, in modern society, due to environmental pollution, unhealthy lifestyle, oxidative stress, and other factors, the quality of male sperm has generally declined, and oligospermia has become one of the common causes of infertility. Therefore, developing effective and safe strategies to enhance sperm motility is of great significance for improving male fertility, increasing the natural pregnancy rate, and optimizing the success rate of assisted reproductive technology (ART).

[0003] Relationship between sperm motility and male infertility

[0004] In male infertility, about 30% to 40% of cases are related to low sperm motility (oligospermia). Sperm motility is a key indicator of male fertility, directly affecting the ability of sperm to penetrate cervical mucus, reach the fallopian tube, and combine with the ovum. The World Health Organization (WHO) standard (6th edition) stipulates that the proportion of progressively motile sperm (PR) in a normal semen sample should be ≥32%, and if it is lower than this threshold, the probability of natural conception is significantly reduced.

[0005] Existing methods for improving sperm motility and their limitations

[0006] Current clinical treatments for oligospermia include:

[0007] Antioxidant therapy (such as vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and L-carnitine): by reducing oxidative stress damage to improve sperm motility, but the effect varies greatly among individuals, and some patients do not respond well.

[0008] Hormone therapy (such as gonadotropin): suitable for patients with endocrine abnormalities, but may cause side effects (such as testicular function suppression).

[0009] Surgical correction (such as varicocele ligation): only effective for specific causes, with a long recovery period after surgery.

[0010] In vitro sperm optimization techniques (such as density gradient centrifugation and the Upstream method): commonly used in assisted reproduction, but may cause mechanical damage to sperm or accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

[0011] Significance of improving sperm motility

[0012] Although improving sperm motility is of great value for improving male fertility, optimizing assisted reproductive technology and promoting reproductive medicine research, it is expected to develop safer and more efficient intervention strategies by exploring new mechanisms such as energy metabolism regulation and antioxidant protection, and to provide more choices for clinical treatment.
