class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 2. Light microscopy of seminiferous tubules of testis of control (A) and cadmium treated group (B). JSCs 1-2 lack germ cells, while JSC 3 contains spermatogonia but no spermatocytes. JSCs 4-5 contain a small number of spermatocytes but no spermatids. JSCs 6-7 contain few or many spermatids but no sperm. JSCs 8-10 contain a small or large number of sperms in a seminiferous tubule. Scale bars = 50 μm. Data presented as Mean ± SEM.
