Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathophysiology of many reproductive complications including infertility, miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and preterm labour. The presence of excess reactive oxygen species can lead to cellular damage of deoxyribonucleic acids, lipids and proteins. Antioxidants protect cells from peroxidation reactions, limiting cellular damage and helping to maintain cellular membrane integrity. There is overwhelming evidence for oxidative stress causing harm in reproduction. However, there is sparse evidence that supplementation with commonly used antioxidants (mostly vitamins C and E) makes any difference in overcoming oxidative stress or reversing disease processes. There may be potential for antioxidant therapy to ameliorate or prevent disease, but this requires a thorough understanding of the mechanism of action and specificity of currently used antioxidants.

A novel thiosemicarbazide-based fluorescent sensor (AFC) was developed. It was successfully applied to detect hypochlorite (ClO−) with fluorescence quenching in bis-tris buffer. The limit of detection of AFC for ClO− was analyzed to be 58.7 μM. Importantly, AFC could be employed as an efficient and practical fluorescent sensor for ClO− in water sample and zebrafish. Moreover, AFC showed a marked selectivity to ClO− over varied competitive analytes with reactive oxygen species. The detection process of AFC to ClO− was illustrated by UV–visible and fluorescent spectroscopy and electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry (ESI–MS).
