The investigation of the reproductive toxicity and protective effect of NaB against HUA background in male mice. (a), weight change of the mice; (b), serum uric acid concentration (n = 6); (c), testicular coefficient (testicular weight/ weight ×100%, n = 6); (d), sperm count (n = 6); (e), sperm motility rate (n = 6); (f), testicular structure examined after hematoxylin and eosin staining (arrows pointing to the abnormal structurs, the decrease of spermatogenic cells). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01. Scale bar = 50 μm.
