Fig. 5

Photomicrographs of a, b control group: normal seminiferous tubules showing moderate immunoreactivity for caspase 3 detected as cytoplasmic staining in all types of cells. c, d Curcumin-treated group: normally functioning seminiferous tubules showing moderate immunoreactivity for caspase 3 detected as cytoplasmic staining in all types of cells. e, f Malathion-treated group showing moderate immunoreactivity for caspase 3 detected as cytoplasmic staining in all types of cells. Note the more intense stain in the cytoplasm of enlarged degenerating spermatocytes. g, h Curcumin + malathion-treated group: seminiferous tubules showing moderate immunoreactivity for caspase 3 detected as cytoplasmic staining in all types of cells. Photomicrographs of a, c, e, and g are at × 100 magnification by immunohistochemistry staining using anti-caspase 3 monoclonal antibody with hematoxylin counterstain. Photomicrographs of b, d, f, and h are at × 400 magnification by immunohistochemistry staining using anti-caspase 3 monoclonal antibody with hematoxylin counterstain
