Protective Effects of Lipoxin A4 in Testis Injury following Testicular Torsion and Detorsion in Rats
Figure 6
Electron microscopy of testicular tissue in different groups (×2000), N: nuclei, and M: mitochondria. (a) Sham group: normal testicular structure was seen in sham group. (b) Torsion group and (c) torsion/detorsion (T/D) group: swollen mitochondria with degenerated cristae and enlarged intercellular spaces were observed under electron microscopy. (d), (e), and (f): T/D + LXA4 subgroup 1–3, respectively: LXA4 pretreatment was effective in preventing mitochondria degeneration and dilation of intracellular spaces.
