Electron micrograph of elongated spermatids. (A) Transmission electron microscopic image showing control group containing intact acrosome, cell membrane and condensed nucleus. (B and C) Elongated spermatids from BPA 12.5 μg/kg BW/day treatment group showing perturbed membrane (white arrowhead) and acrosome (black arrowhead), (C) defect in acrosomal membrane (white arrowhead). (D-F) Apoptotic spermatids (black arrowhead) having vacuolated (star) and collapsed membrane around the nucleus in 25 μg/kg BW/day group, (E) engulfed spermatids, and (F) heavily damaged spermatid with head defects (arrowheads) and degenerated cytoplasm. Scale bar for A is 1 μm, for B-F is 2 μm.
