Figure 4. Moxibustion prevents testicular damage in rats with TGS-induced OAT. (A) Representative images of testicular histology detected by H&E staining (×100; ×200; ×400). Black triangle: spermatogenic cells; black arrow: Leydig cells; black asterisk: Sertoli cells. (B) Diameter of seminiferous tubules. (C) Height of the seminiferous epithelium. (D) Area of seminiferous tubules. n = 10 in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; Abbreviation: ns: not significant.
