Epididymal histoarchitecture of goats under chronic cyproterone acetate.
Epididymis were collected from cyproterone acetate-treated Black Bengal goats. Treatment for 70 days reduced the epididymal weight. Caput epididymidis showed drastic decrease in the height of the epithelium, loss of stereocilia, the number of narrow cells and apical cells. Though the corpus showed dramatic changes after treatment, cauda epididymidis showed moderate changes.
