Photomicrographs of rats testicular tissues of control and treated animals with different concentrations of BPF. The control (a) reveals normal germ cells: spermatogonia (SP), spermatocytes (SPC), spermatids (SPT), spermatozoa (SPZ). b–f Treated groups with BPF (1, 5, 25, 50, and100 mg/kg/day) showing changes in the testicular tissues seminiferous tubules with epithelium (Line without arrowhead), showing change in the testicular parenchyma, absence of sperm in lumen, seminiferous tubules with germ cells, Leydig cells (LeyC), absence of sperm in lumen of tubules and spermatids. Presenting ST, seminiferous tubules; SP, spermatogonia; SPC, spermatocytes; SPT, spermatids; SPZ, spermatozoa; IT, interstitial tissue; LeyC, Leydig cell (White arrow). H&E (× 40)
