I- interstital space Stain, arrow head-basement membrane, spanned arrow- spermatogenic cells, Star- lumen. Yellow arrow- Leydig cells Haematoxylin and Eosin. Mag. ×100. Testicular cytoarchitecture of groups a, b and c were in normal arrays, d and e showed a degenerated seminiferous tubule and basement membrane. Groups f and g showed an elongated seminiferous tubule with scanty spermatozoa in the lumen (*), very few leydig cells in the interstitial spaces at 2 weeks while at 4 weeks, a rounded/oval seminiferous tubule and wide interstitial spaces with reduced Leydig cells was observed.
