TABLE 1B

Effects of ischemia/reperfusion on the extratubular compartment in the testes of WT and KO sham, TI/R and CL of WT plus vehicle, BAY 11-7082– and BBG-treated WT, and KO mice at 1 day after the surgical procedure

Values are expressed as the mean ± S.E. Histologic grading of the extratubular compartment changes was based on the following scale: 0, absent; 1, mild; 2, moderate; and 3, severe.
