Inhibition of Autophagy in Heat-Stressed Sperm of Adult Mice: A Possible Role of Catsper1, 2 Channel Proteins

Table 1

Comparison of the seminiferous histological marker in sham and HS groups.

	Sham	HS
Modified Johnsenscore	9.54	3.45^(0.022)
Diameter, µm (mean ± SD)	255 ± 3.7	193.07 ± 22.63
Epithelium thickness, µm (mean ± SD)	70 ± 3.57	31.71 ± 7.37^(0.015)

The table shows the evaluation of testicular modified Johnsen score, seminiferous tubule diameter, and epithelium height following the induced heat stress. Values are expressed as mean ± SD.  < 0.05 are significant;  < 0.05 vs. sham.
