Figure 4

Seminiferous tubule diameter morphometry in rats of the SC (Sham Control), A (Amifostine), D (Doxorubicin) and AD (Amifostine/Doxorubicin) groups at the 3 ages studied. Seminiferous tubule diameter (4A) and the growth rates (4B) observed in the different groups. 4C: Box plots illustrating the median of the seminiferous epithelium height. The median for each dataset is indicated by the line in the boxes which in themselves contain 50% of the data. The upper and lower hinges of the boxes indicate the 25-75 percentiles. Values within 1.5 times the interquartil range are indicated by the lines. Mean values +/- standard deviation; P < 0.05 (a, b, c, d, e, f). Labels - 4A: a = A and AD < SC and D; b = D < SC, A and AD; c = A and AD > D; d = A > AD; e = D > AD;f = AD < SC, A and D. 4C: a = A and AD > D; b = D < SC, A and AD; c = A > D and AD; d = D < SC, A and AD; e = AD < SC and A.
