Figures & data
Figure 1. Staging of seminiferous tubules. The entire stages categorized from I to XIV, were classified into 4 groups; I ∼ VI, VII ∼ VIII, IX ∼ XI, and XII ∼ XIV. The data represent the mean values with SD. Statistical significance were not shown using Dunnett test in all stages. P values of each stage were: Stage I-VI 0 vs. 0.08: 0.500, 0 vs. 0.4: 0.5305; Stage VII-VIII 0 vs. 0.08: 0.3159, 0 vs. 0.4: 0.3693; Stage IX-XI 0 vs. 0.08: 0.2790, 0 vs. 0.4: 0.1980; and Stage XII-XIV 0 vs. 0.08: 0.4720, 0 vs. 0.4: 0.5052.
