Effects of gentamycin induced testicular damage and pioglitazone treatment on body weight, testis weight and relative testis weight.

Group Variable (Mean ± SEM)	GI (n = 10)	GII (n = 10)	GIII (n = 10)	GIV (n = 10)	GV (n = 10)
Body weight (gm)	232.80 ± 8.84	229.50 ± 6.89	241.60 ± 8.47	230.50 ± 5.57	236.40 ± 4.39
Absolute testis weight (mg)	131.50 ± 0.50 b	106 ± 0.53 acde	124.50 ± 2.72 be	133.30 ± 3.47 b	141.9 ± 1.96 bc
Relative testis weight	0.58 ± 0.04 b	0.47 ±0.03 ade	0.52 ± 0.02	0.58 ±0.01 b	0.60 ±0.01 b

GI: CTL, normal control, GII: GM, gentamycin induced testicular damage, GIII: PIO 5 (5 mg/kg/day) pioglitazone treated group, GIV: PIO 10 pioglitazone treated (10 mg/kg/day) and GV: PIO 20 pioglitazone treated (20 mg/kg/day). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. (^a) compared to control group (GI), (^b) compared to GM treated group (GII), (^c) compared to PIO 5 (GIII) group, (^d) compared to PIO 10 (G IV) group, (^e) compared to PIO 20 (GV) group.
