  1. "Lumen diameter" is the diameter of the hollow space in the seminiferous tubules of the testicular HE stained image measured by Image J software; and "Epithelial height" is the thickness of the seminiferous tubules. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error. Different superscript letters in each column (a, b, c, d, e) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05)
