The arrow refers to the atrophied seminiferous epithelium. (× 200, scale bar = 50 μm, N = 3 animals/group). b Histological epididymis sections from postoperative 4-,8-and 12-week CON and OEE group mice. The arrow refers to atypical epididymis tubules and floccules. (× 200, scale bar = 50 μm, N = 3 animals/group). c Testis weight of postoperative 8-week CON and OEE group mice (N = 12 animals/CON, N = 18 animals/OEE). d Epididymis weight of postoperative 8-week CON and OEE group mice (N = 13 animals/CON, N = 11 animals/OEE).** p-value < 0.01Back to article page
