Manchette-acrosome disorders and testicular efficiency decline observed in hypercholesterolemic rabbits are recovered with olive oil enriched diet

Light microscopy of semi-thin sections.
Testis isolated from normal (NCR), hypercholesterolemic (HCARDA), half fat (½ HCARDA), and protected rabbits (½ HCARDA + ½ OO). White arrows point to abnormal sperm heads (HCARDA, pictures C and D). Black arrows point vesicles (HCARDA, picture D, and ½ HCARDA, picture F). Segmented line points epithelium detachment (½ HCARDA, picture F). Note the similarities between pictures A and B (NCR) with G and H (½ HCARDA + ½ OO). Magnifications: 400X (A, C, E and G, scale bar in A = 50 μm) and 620X (B, D, F and H, scale bar in B = 50 μm).
