Perfusion parameters measured in the spermatic cord testicular artery (SA), marginal portion of the testicular artery (MA), and intratesticular branches of the testicular artery (IA) of the bulls (n = 18)
| SA | MA | IA | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean ± SD | Mean ± SD | Mean ± SD | ||
| PSV, m/s | Right | 14.1 ± 4.5a | 6.3 ± 1.2b | 5.7 ± 1.4c |
| Left | 13.8 ± 4.4a | 6.5 ± 1.4b | 5.8 ± 2b | |
| EDV, m/s | Right | 5.5 ± 2.3a | 4.2 ± 1b | 3.9 ± 0.9b |
| Left | 5.4 ± 1.9a | 4.3 ± 0.9b | 3.7 ± 0.8b | |
| RI | Right | 0.61 ± 0.1a | 0.42 ± 0.08b | 0.33 ± 0.08c |
| Left | 0.6 ± 0.1a | 0.43 ± 0.09b | 0.35 ± 0.08c |
Peak systolic velocity (PSV, m/s); End diastolic velocity (EDV, m/s), resistive index (RI). Means bearing different superscripts (a and b) in a row differ significantly (P < 0.05)
