Effect of melatonin pre-treatment on the histological architecture of testes in mice exposed to whole-body 60Co γ-irradiation. Animals were sacrificed through cervical dislocation and testes were collected on 1st, 3rd, 7th, 15th and 30th days post-irradiation. After fixation and processing, cross sections of testes (5 μm) were stained with H&E and histological architecture of testes was analyzed. Representative photographs (1st to 30th days) for testes histology are shown (original magnification ×100)
