Signs of ROS-Associated Autophagy in Testis and Sperm in a Rat Model of Varicocele

<div>Cross-section of seminiferous tubules. (a) Control group: most cells have an intense PAS response (bold arrows). The narrow arrow (⟶) points to the thin regular basal membrane of the seminiferous tubules. (b) Varicocele group: the majority of cells have a poor response to PAS (bold arrows). The narrow arrow (⟶) points to the thickened basal membrane of the seminiferous tubule (magnification, X200).</div>
