Effects of LPS on testicular oxidative stress and the blood–testis barrier in mice. (A) H&E staining was used to observe the pathological injury of mouse testes induced by LPS. (B) Sperm score (Johnsen’s score). (C) H&E staining was used to observe the pathological injury of mouse epididymides induced by LPS. (D) Sperm counting of the epididymides after LPS treatment. (E) Levels of MDA in the testes after LPS treatment. (F) Levels of T-SOD in the testes after LPS treatment. (G) Levels of LDH in the blood after LPS treatment. (H) Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the effect of LPS on the blood‒testis barrier. (I) BTB width measurement after LPS treatment. MDA malondialdehyde, LDH lactate dehydrogenase, T-SOD total superoxide dismutase, n = 10 mice/group).
