Morphological changes in the testes of SHR. Hematoxylin and eosin stained testicular tissue from 26-week-old control (A,B; Wistar rats) and hypertensive group (C,D; SHR). All SHR testes had vascular changes in the arterioles with increased adventitial layer (arrowheads) (C). Each rat in hypertensive group shows different stages of testicular damage. Sixty percent of SHR testes show immature cells (asterisk) in tubular lumen (D). Hypertensive rats presented increased testicular weight when compared to normotensive rats (E). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. t-Test student for comparison between groups: *p < 0.05, significant difference vs Wistar rats; n = 5. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).
