Spermatozoa in the seminiferous epithelium. (a) Mallory’s trichrome stained section. (b, c, d, e) ISH with homologous probes: spermatozoa positive to AR (b), ERα, (c) and ERβ (d) in the mating period; spermatozoa negative in the autumnal recrudescence (e) (one for all is depicted ERα). The bar is 30 µm.
