Morphology of cells isolated from seminiferous tubules.
Spermatogenic cells are ordered according to the acrosomal stage from left (immature) to right (mature). Rows correspond to experimental groups: NCR (upper row), HCARDA (middle row) and ½ HCARDA + ½ OO (bottom row). Note the symmetric position of acrosomal edge (opposite black arrows) and the perinuclear ring (arrowhead) in cells from NCR and ½ HCARDA + ½ OO in contrast with the HCARDA. Also note abnormalities in flagella, like residual body (white arrows), and the presence of droplets (asterisk) in the acrosome zone in HCARDA group. 450X, Toluidine Blue stain.
