Figure 12

Photographs of sperms obtained from adult albino rat. (a) Control group showed normal mature sperms that appear with normal hook shaped heads and single long tail. (b) Some sperm abnormalities of ischemia only and I/R groups showed fragmented sperm, heads without tail or tails with absent heads (1), coiled tail (2), twisted or biffed tails (3), ballooned heads (4), spherical head (5), tails without heads (6), fusion of tails at different position (7), coiled tail (8), head with hook at wrong angle (9), or irregular heads(10). (c) Ginkgo biloba treated I/R showed mature sperms near normal sperms apart from few abnormal sperms.
