Quantitation of testicular germ cell apoptosis in testes after experimental cryptorchidism. A: The percentage of seminiferous tubules containing apoptotic germ cells in cryptorchid testes on days 0, 4, 7, and 14 after injury. i: The increase in the percentage of tubules containing apoptotic cells in the cryptorchid testes of Uchl3 knockout mice is statistically significant compared with wild-type mice on days 4, 7, and 14. Each value represents the mean ± SD; *, P < 0.05. ii: The percentage of apoptotic tubules in cryptorchid testes of gad mice is significantly different on days 4, 7, and 14 after injury. Each value represents the mean ± SD; *, P < 0.01. B: Incidence of apoptosis per seminiferous tubule with apoptotic germ cells on days 4 and 7 after injury. The incidence of seminiferous tubules containing >11 apoptotic germ cells is significantly increased (P < 0.05) in cryptorchid testes of Uchl3 knockout mice compared with wild-type mice. i: Comparison with Uchl3 knockout mice. ii: Comparison with gad mice. Each value represents the mean ± SD.
