[Morphometric aspects of seminiferous tubules in rats treated with melatonin and whole body irradiation (stereologic analysis)].
The volume density of the seminiferous epithelium, lumen of tubules and the testis interstitium in the shampinealectomized adult Wistar rats was determined after melatonin treatment and whole-body irradiation with 8 Gy of gamma rays produced by 60 Co. The solvent was injected to the control group of animals. By the comparison of stereological results, it was shown that melatonin modifies the quantitative characteristics of seminiferous tubules reducing the effects of irradiation originally produced.
