2. Figure 1
Photomicrographs of sections through mice testes (A, B, C57BL/6, WT; C, D, C57BL/6-B6.129S4-Vr1tm1Jul, TRPV1–/–) heated during 15 minutes at 43°C and processed a week later. (A, C) Periodic acid-Schiff–hematoxylin staining. (B, D) TUNEL labeling. Brown cells, TUNEL (+) germ cells. Note the number of apoptotic germ cells in the WT testis (diaminobenzidine precipitate) and the lack of these cells in the TRPV1–/– testis. (E) C57BL/6,WT and (F) C57BL/6-B6.129S4-Vr1tm1Jul, TRPV1–/– mice testes heated during 15 minutes at 33°C and processed a week later; both E and F show PAS-hematoxylin staining. Bars, 100 μm.
