Figure 9From: Histopathological and ultra structural effects of nanoparticles on rat testis following 90 days (Chronic study) of repeated oral administration TEM of spermatogenesis. (a) Normal spermatogenesis showing healthy round and elongating spermatids (Sp) in control group. Scale bar =2 µm, (b) Abnormally developed spermatid (Sp) engulfed by sertoli cell cytoplasm and nanoparticle accumulation (*) in experimental group. Scale bar =0.5 & 1 µm, (c) Abnormally developed spermatid (Sp) engulfed by sertoli cell cytoplasm and nanoparticle accumulation (*) in experimental group. Scale bar =0.5 & 1 µm and (d) Deposition of nanoparticle on acrosomal membrane and sertoli cell cytoplasm. Scale bar =0.5 µm.Back to article page
