Photomicrographs of HE-stained testis from PND 26 juvenile male rats. Dense tubules, lumen congested with normal germ cells along normal epithelium shown in (A) Control; (B) IMD (1 mg/kg) showing tubules with minimal degenerated epithelial layer and increased tubular diameter and larger lumen space (C) IMD (5 mg/kg) illustrating wider lumen, compact tubules with increased epithelial height, reduced number of spermatocytes and arrested spermatogenesis (D) IMD (10 mg/kg); showing damage of epithelium, lumen wider with arrested spermatogenesis. Spermatogonia (S), Primary spermatocytes (PS), Secondary spermatocytes (SS), Round spermatocytes (RS), Lumen (L), Basal compartment (B), Interstitial space (I), Epithelium (E). Pictures were taken at Magnification 40X
