Morphometrical measurements of spermatogenic cells in busulfan, DMSO and MSC treatment groups compared to the control group
| Groups | Spermatogonia numbers | Primary spermatocytes numbers | Sperm counts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 33.35 ± 1.78 | 64.44 ± 2.00 | (10.50 ± 1.82) ×106 |
| Busulfan treatment | 25.38 ± 1.57 * | 55.41 ± 1.62 * | (4.95 ± 1.30) ×106 * |
| DMSO treatment | 33.60 ± 1.71 | 64.69 ± 1.96 | (11.01 ± 2.63) ×106 |
| MSC injected group | 32.78 ± 1.99 | 63.59 ± 2.01 | (9.81 ± 1.33) × 106 |
Data are shown as the mean±SD.
The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey and Scheffe tests.
Spermatogonia numbers of busulfan treated compared to control, p=0.02. Primary spermatocytes numbers of busulfan treated compared to control, p=0.02. Sperm count of busulfan treated compared to control, p=0.014.
