a–d Photomicrographs of a sections of testis of MSG-treated male rats showing (a) Irregular, shrinked and disorganized structure and remainant of damaged seminiferous epithelium (curved arrows) and congested blood vessel (c) (Scale bar = 200 µm). b Degenerated interstitial tissue (it), irregular variable-sized seminiferous tubules(arrows) and many tubules (star) showed a decrease in the number of spermatogenic cells to a few layers and few or no sperms were observed (Scale bar = 200 µm). c Detachment of germ cells from basal lamina (arrows) and cytoplasmic vacuolation (v) (Scale bar = 100 µm). d Pyknosis of nuclei (arrow head) and sloughing of spermatogonia cells into the lumen of seminiferous tubules (arrow) (Scale bar = 50 µm)
