  1. Data presented in mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA test used between four (I, II, III, IV) groups followed by Post hoc test.; Independent samples t test used between ipsilateral hemi testis and contralateral hemi testis. PHT = Post hoc test, NA = Not Applicable. p < 0.05 significant
  2. JS = Johnsen Score, STD = seminiferous Tubular diameter, DFC = DNA Flow cytometry
