Adverse effects of BPA treatment on testes. (A) The morphology of testes during the treatment was monitored by microscopic observations performed at 1-month intervals (F0). Photographs of representative F1 and F2 males from the control (Control) and BPA-treated (BPA) groups were taken before histological analysis (F1 and F2). Photographs of whole fish and testes under bright field (B. field) are shown. (B) Sections of control (Control) and BPA-treated (BPA) males. Cysts containing spermatogonia (Sg), spermatocyte (Sc), spermatozoa (Sp) can be seen (Rupik et al., 2011). The scale bars indicate 50 μm. (C) Number of spermatozoa (Sp) in sections of control-treated (Control) and BPA-treated (BPA) males were counted in three sections prepared from three different fishes. Vertical lines indicate standard deviation. ** indicate statistically significant differences between the values for the BPA-treated group and the control group at the P < 0.01 level. |
