Photomicroghaph of 27 days old neonatal male rat seminiferous tubules(H&E, 40X) from: (a) Control; showing normal morphology of closely packed tubules with basal lamina, stratification and increased spermatogenic epithelium Spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes and early spermatids well developed lumen, (b) BPA group treated with 2 μg/kg of dose; showing noticeable increase in interstitial spaces between destructed tubules and basal lamina, decrease in epithelial height, only spermatogonia and large lumen, (c) BPA group treated with 200 μg/kg; showing decreased tubular diameter damaged interstitial tissues and increased interstitial spaces, narrow lumen, (d) BPS 2 μg/kg treated group showing semineferious tubules without interstitial space, minimal damage to epithelial, decrease in lumen diameter, (e) BPS 200 μg/kg; showing no interstitial space, normal spermatogenesis and basal lamina around tubules and very short lumen with early spermatids. Interstitial space (IS), Spermatogonia(S), Primary spermatocytes (PS), Early spermatids (ES), Epithelial Height (EH), Interstitial tissues (IT), Basal lamina (BL), Lumen (L)
