Figure 2: — Photomicrograph of the testicles’ histology in study groups. In the control 13^th day (A), control 25^th (B), control 49^th days (C), GT 13^th day (D), GT 25^th day (E), GT 49^th day (F), CdCl₂ 13^th day (G), CdCl₂ 25^th day (H), CdCl₂ 49^th day (I), GT plus CdCl₂ 13^th day (J), GT plus CdCl₂ 25^th day (K), GT plus CdCl₂ 49^th day (L). In the animals treated with GT (D, E, F) the tubules and spermatogonia cells maintained normal form. In the animals that received cadmium chloride (G, H, I), the tubules seemed atrophic, the edema increased, germinal layer height decreased (Double side black arrow), and many spermatogonia cells (One side black arrow) were lost. No changes were observed in the CdCl2 plus GT 25 and 49 days (B) and green tea 13, 25 and 49 days (E). The antioxidant effects of green tea considerably restored the tubules and epithelial cells. (Magnificent X40, Hematoxylin-Eosin stain).
