Table 2.

Rates of seminiferous tubule damage in pre-grafting fresh and cryopreserved neonatal CD-1 mouse testes (mean ± SEM)

Type of cryoprotectant Rate of seminiferous tubule damage (%)
Fresh (control) 0.3 ± 0.5a
DMSO 6.3 ± 1.7b
PrOH 9.9 ± 2.3bc
EG 12.1 ± 1.6c
Glycerol 9.4 ± 0.9bc

Groups with different letters in the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05).

First column is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), propylene glycol (PrOH), ethylene glycol (EG), glycerol, respectively.
