Figure 8.

Histology section from the epididymis of the control and SBE alone treated rats show typical morphology. The tubules are essentially normal with abundant spermatozoa (black arrows). AFB₁ (50 µg/kg) alone treated rats’ epididymis presented reduced epididymal sperm cells. Groups treated with AFB₁ and graded doses of—5 and 10 mg/kg body weight—of SBE show normal epididymis morphology. The tubules are essentially normal with SBE dose-dependent spermatozoa increases in the lumen (black arrows). (H&E-stained tissue sections; 1.08 cm = 50 µm).
