(a) C group. Normal morphology of seminiferous tubules (right red arrow) and inside lining smooth seminiferous epithelium (right green arrow) (hematoxylin-eosin ×20). (b) S group. In the seminiferous tubules there are separations between germ cells and the basement membrane (right green arrow) and gaps (right red arrow), and because of pouring degenerated germ cells debris is observed in the lumen of tubules (right black arrow) (hematoxylin-eosin ×20). (c) LRS group. Damages seen in stress group are greatly reduced (right red arrow) and in the lumen of seminiferous tubules mature spermiums are observed. (Hematoxylin-eosin ×20). (d) HRS group. Morphology of the seminiferous tubules is similar to the control group (right red arrow). (Hematoxylin-Eosin ×20).
