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 Contralateral hemi testis measured at 70 day and 120 days of life. PHT = Post hoc test, NA = Not Applicable. p < 0.05 significant
