Table 2. Measure of the Leydig cell density*
    Untreated Healthy Rats (n = 15)   Treated Healthy Rats (n = 15)   Untreated Diabetic Rats (n = 8)   Treated Diabetic Rats (n = 15)

  Density (Leydig cells/interstitial tissue)   14 ± 4a   12 ± 3a,c   4 ± 1b   7 ± 2c

  *Density indicates the mean number ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of Leydig cells observed in each interstitial space. This observation was made after counting 200 interstitial tissues of each experimental group in the hematoxylin-eosin-stained slides used for optical microscope. Different superscript letters in a column indicate significant (P < .05) differences among groups. Significance of the differences was tested using the {varkappa}2 test.
