Histological changes in testes of rats (magnification x400) (spermatogenic series and spermatozoa illustrated). (a). Control testes showing normal* cell histology. (b). Pb only group- testes showing Mild reduction in seminiferous epithelium, empty lumen and reduction in number luminal spermatozoa in areas. (c). Pb + VC group-testes showing normal* cell histology. (d). Pb + VE group-testes showing an increase in luminal spermatozoa. (e). Pb + VC + VE group- Increase in luminal spermatozoa. *Normal: Seminiferous tubules contain 3–5 cell layered spermatogenic epithelium, with moderate amount of luminal spermatozoa.
