From: The protective effect of crocin on cisplatin-induced testicular impairment in rats
Effects of crocin treatment on the testis histology of cisplatin-treated rats. Light microscope photomicrograph of the testicular tissue of the control group (A) cisplatin (B, C) and cisplatin plus crocin at the doses of 6.25 mg/kg (D), 25 mg/kg (E) and 100 mg/kg (F). SG: spermatogonium; SP: spermatocyte; SPT: spermatid; SC: Sertoli cell; LC: leydig cell. Red arrows mark extensive shrinkages, black arrows indicate sloughing of germinal epithelium and yellow arrowheads show vacuolation. Sections were stained with Hematoxylin and eosin (400X, bars = 50 μm)
