Table 2. MSTD, thickness of germ cell layers and apoptosis rate among three different groups.
Groups | MSTD (µm, n=8) | Thickness of germ cell layers (n=8) | Apoptosis rate (%, n=10) |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 178.12±4.00 | 8.65±0.29 | 3.60±1.35 |
Negative control | 179.12±3.09 | 8.50±0.18 | 3.90±1.29 |
CIRP siRNA group | 156.50±1.51* | 5.45±0.32* | 28.30±5.21* |
Abbreviation: MSTD, mean seminiferous tubule diameter.
