PGWE restores loss of sperm count by Fi (A) Experimental scheme of in vivo study (B) The prostate index was calculated by prostate weight (mg)/body weight (100 g) (C) The testis index was calculated by testis weight (mg)/body weight (100 g) (D) Serum DHT levels were analyzed using ELISA kits (E) H and E staining analysis was performed using prostate tissues of TP-induced BPH rats (magnification × 200, scale bar 150 µm) (F) Based on H&E staining, the epithelial thickness was measured using ImageJ software (G) Number of sperm extracted from the epididymis of rats and (H) length of sperm were calculated using ImageJ software. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM of independent experiments. Statistical differences were calculated by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test. # p < 0.05 vs. NC group; ∗ p < 0.05 vs. BPH group. TP, testosterone propionate; NC, normal control; BPH, benign prostatic hyperplasia; PGWE, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer water extract; Fi, finasteride.
