T/D: torsion/detorsion; LXA4: lipoxin A4. Testicular injury and spermatogenesis were graded with Johnsen score. All tubular sections in each observed area of testicular tissue are evaluated systematically and each is given a score from 1 to 10. Complete spermatogenesis with many spermatozoa present is evaluated as score 10. Compared with other groups, and . Compared with torsion or torsion/detorsion (T/D) group, and . |
