Melatonin Alleviated Potassium Dichromate-Induced Oxidative Stress and Reprotoxicity in Male Rats

Figure 5

Photomicrograph of the testis section of rat stained with Feulgen’s reaction to demonstrate DNA as a magenta color. (a) The control group showing normal DNA contents. (b) The potassium dichromate group showing decrease in DNA content. (c) The potassium dichromate and melatonin low-dose group showing partial restoration of DNA content. (d) The potassium dichromate and melatonin high-dose group showing restoration of DNA content. (e) The melatonin group showing nearly normal DNA contents (Feulgen’s reaction: ×1000).
