Ginkgo Biloba Ameliorates Subfertility Induced by Testicular Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Adult Wistar Rats: A Possible New Mitochondrial Mechanism

Figure 10

Photomicrographs of semithin section of the adult rat testis of Ginkgo biloba treated I/R group showing (a) restoration of all spermatogenic cells (black rightwards arrow) and sperms lining the luminal surface (). Few degenerated primary spermatocytes (P) are observed and round spermatids with characteristic acrosomal cap (R), with widened intercellular spaces between the regenerating germ cells (×1000). (b) Wide large interstitial space with 2 blood vessels (BV) surrounded by many apparently normal Leydig cells () with macrophage cell with kidney shape nuclei in the space (▲) (×1000).
