From: Cadmium suppresses the proliferation of piglet Sertoli cells and causes their DNA damage, cell apoptosis and aberrant ultrastructure

Figure 6

TUNEL assay showed apoptotic cells in the seminiferous tubules of piglets with different doses of cadmium chloride treatment. A-D: TUNEL-positive cells in the seminiferous tubules of piglets without cadmium chloride treatment (A), or treated with cadmium chloride at 300 mg/kg body weight (B), 600 mg/kg body weight (C), or with 1200 mg/kg body weight (D). E: Quantitation assay showed that TUNEL-positive cells in the seminiferous tubules of piglets treated with various concentration of cadmium chloride. Compared to control group A, "*" indicated significant difference (p < 0.05), "**" indicated extremely significant difference (p < 0.01).
