Figure 5. A: Group A showing normal histoarchitecture with typically organized layers of spermatogenic
cells at different stages of maturation (Yellow arrow), no pathological changes in the lumen (L) of the
seminiferous tubules, spermatozoa (SP), basement membrane (blue arrow) and interstitial space (I);
B: Group B showing testicular photomicrograph section of Arsenic-only group showing distortion of the
tubular architecture and disorganization of the spermatogenic cells (yellow arrow) in seminiferous tubules,
hypocellularity due to degeneration of germ cells, disruption of spermatogenesis and vacuolation (*) and
empty lumen (L); C: Group C showing a testicular photomicrograph section of arsenic and DRLC treated
group at low dose, showing restored lumen (L) with visible spermatozoa (SP), abundant sperm cells (yellow
arrow); D: Group D showing testicular photomicrograph section of arsenic and DRLC treated group at high
dose, showing a notable restoration of the lumen (L) of the seminiferous tubules, with visible spermatozoa
(SP) and abundant sperm cell (yellow arrow) Stains: Hematoxylin and Eosin. Mg X400.
