Effects of CdCl2 alone and in combination with letrozole (CdCl2 + letrozole) on the body weight and absolute and relative testes weights of male mice
| Groups | Body weight | TW | TW/BW ratio (mg/g) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial BW | Final BW | |||
| Control | 30.52 ± 0.41 | 35.97 ± 0.57 | 0.25 ± 0.01 | 0.68 ± 0.02 |
| Cd (4 mg/kg) | 30.99 ± 0.64 | 33.55 ± 0.53* | 0.24 ± 0.01 | 0.73 ± 0.03 |
| Cd + letrozole (4 + 0.25 mg/kg) | 30.85 ± 0.21 | 34.89 ± 0.31# | 0.25 ± 0.01 | 0.72 ± 0.03 |
BW Body weight, TW Testis weight. Means ± SEM of five animals in each group. Compared with control group, *p < 0.05; compared with the Cd group, #p < 0.05
