Photomicrographs of a section of testis of MSG group treated with quercetin showing (a) Seminiferous tubules (S) and interstitial containing Leydig cells (It) and cytoplasmic vacuolation (v) (Scale bar = 100 µm). b Higher magnification of same section showing spermatogonia (Sg) resting upon the basal lamina of the seminiferous tubules that are oval in shape, primary spermatocytes (Ps), recognized by their large nuclei containing coarse clumps of chromatin, spermatids (Sd) with rounded nuclei, Sertoli cells (Sc) with nuclei located basally, and sperms in the lumen of the tubules (Sp) (Scale bar = 50 µm)
