The morphological changes caused by cryopreservation of the testicular tissues with different cryoprotectants have been assessed here. Testes of thirty immature male rats divided into equal five groups; Group (A) as control fresh sample, group (B) with freezing media only. Different freezing protocol were used for other groups; group (C) dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO); group (D) Glycerol and group (E) propanediol (PROH). Light and transmission electron microscope in addition to the…

DMSO as a cryoprotectant (at a 0.7 mol/l concentration) proved to maintain the structure of testicular tissue, especially spermatogonia, after cryopreservation better than PrOH or glycerol.

Effects of various cryopreservation media and freezing–thawing on the morphology of rat testicular biopsies

It is concluded that freezing–thawing of testicular biopsies, and the cryopreservation medium, have a significant impact on the structure of the seminiferous epithelium, particularly on its basal compartment.

Rats treated with MSG showed morphological and morphometric changes as decrease in testicular weight, decrease in tubular diameter, reduction in germinal epithelium height, increase in the spermatic count and abnormalities of sperms morphology, but normal structure of the testis was not regained even after six weeks of cessation of treatment.
