Table 2.
Effects on testis extratubular compartment for the two types of control animals (Control plus vehicle; Control plus PDRN) and the two types of treated ones (CdCl2 plus vehicle; CdCl2 plus PDRN).
| Extratubular compartment |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edema | Hemorrhagic extravasation | Vascular dilation | Leydig cells changes | |
| Control plus vehicle | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Control plus PDRN | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| CdCl2 plus vehicle | 1.4 ± 0.3a | 1.8 ± 0.3a | 1.7 ± 0.4a | 1.3 ± 0.2a |
| CdCl2 plus PDRN | 0.7 ± 0.3b | 0.8 ± 0.3b | 0.7 ± 0.3b | 0.4 ± 0.3b |
ap < 0.05 vs. control; bp < 0.05 vs. CdCl2 plus vehicle. Histologic grading of the extratubular compartment changes was based on the following scale: 0, absent; 1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe.
