Table 1

Tubular diameter (μm), epithelial height (μm) and tubular lumen (μm) of seminiferous epithelium in control and treated male rats.

Groups	Tubular diameter (μm)	Epithelial height (μm)	Luminal diameter (μm)
Control	222.9 ± 4.9^a	46.2 ± 0.8^a,c	115.7 ± 2.6^a
MT5	230.6±4.0	53.7 ± 1.8^d	106.9 ± 2.9^b
MT50	234.2 ± 3.0^b	50.3 ± 0.5^b	111.5±7.2

Doses: control = 0 mg/kg, MT5 = 5 mg/kg and MT50 = 50 mg/kg. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, ANOVA, 𝑛=10 animals/group, ^a/bdiffer 𝑃<0.05; ^c/ddiffer 𝑃<0.01.
