Histological assessment revealed that B[a]P exposure at 50mg/kg/day and 100mg/kg/day for 30 days had a significant impact on the seminiferous tubules: reduced width of the adluminal of the seminiferous tubules and the size of the Sertoli cell basal membrane, lost integrity of cellular membranes and the atrophy of seminiferous tubules.
