Photomicrograph of transverse section of H&E staining of rats. (a) Testis of the Control Group Showing: the Capsule (C) Enclosing Normal Seminiferous Tubules (ST) appearing Circular or nearly circular, their Basal Lamina (BL) with Clumps of Interstitial Leydig Cells (I). Spermatozoa (SP), seen within the Tubular Lumen. (H & E; X400), (b) Testis of the Control Group Showing: Part A Seminiferous Tubule Resting on Basal Lamina (BL) and Shows Spermatogonia (SG), Spermatozoa (SZ) and Spermatid. Sertoli Cells (SC) are Seen Lying Perpendicular to the Basement Membrane (H & are E; X660) and (c,d) Testis of experimental group of rat showing disorganization of the normal appearance of the testis with atrophy in the seminiferous tubule, disorganization of germinal epithelium, and loss of spermatogenic cells. 400X.
