Effects of Exposure to Bisphenol A during Pregnancy on the Pup Testis Function

Figure 2

Germ cell apoptosis in pups from female exposure to BPA at 5 μg/mL or 50 μg/mL throughout gestation. Representative images of TUNEL staining in the testis for control (a), BPA at 5 μg/mL (b) and BPA at 50 μg/mL (c) on PND14. (d) The percentage of TUNEL-positive seminiferous tubules with greater than 3 apoptotic cells is represented as mean ± SD. N=3 per treatment group, with each n representing a different litter from a different female. The ∗ indicates a significant difference compared to control at P < 0.05. Bar = 100 μm.
