Figure 1 Relationship between time of reperfusion and testicular injury score (Jonsen's criteria), number of germ cell layers, germ cell apoptosis, and bax/bcl-2 mRNA expression in the ischemic testis and contralateral testis after testicular IR in a rat model. Values are mean ± SEM. ∗P<.05 vs. sham., #vs. group F (72 hours).
