Figure 4. Effects of amygdalin on the histology of the testicular tissue of mice.

Figure 4

(A) Testicular tissue of Group I (control) showing normal seminiferous tubules and interstitial tissues (H&E, ×100). (B) Testicular tissue of Group II (200 mg/kg) showing marked vascular congestion (black arrow), tubular vacuolar degeneration (black arrow), necrosis of the spermatogonia that line the seminiferous tubules, and interstitial edema (H&E, ×100). (C) Testicular tissue of group III (100 mg/kg) showing maintenance of normal seminiferous tubules with no histopathological alterations and complete spermatogenesis (arrow) (H&E, ×100). (D) Testicular tissue of Group IV (50 mg/kg) showing active spermatogenesis and normal cell arrangement in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules, with mild congestion (arrow) (H&E, ×40).
