Average of histomorphometric analyses for mean percentage of tubular depletion (T.D), germinal epithelium height (G.E.H) mean percentage of tubules with germinal epithelium dissociation (G.E.D), mean percentage of seminiferous tubules with negative tubular differentiation (TDI) and repopulation indexes (RI).

Note: E: vitamin E (150mg/kg), DEX: dexamethasone (0.125mg/kg), VCL: varicocele.

^a,b,c,d,e: indicate significant differences (P<0.05) between marked data in same row.
