Moxibustion prevents tripterygium glycoside-induced oligoasthenoteratozoospermia in rats via reduced oxidative stress and modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway
Figure 5. Moxibustion has a protective effect on preventing epididymal damage in rats with TGS-induced OAT. (A) Representative images of epididymal histology detected using H&E staining (×100; ×200; ×400). Black triangle: spermatogenic cells; black arrow: epididymal epithelium cells; black asterisk: spermatozoa. (B) Diameter of the epididymal duct; (C) Height of the epididymal epithelium. n = 10 in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; Abbreviation: ns: not significant.
