Figure 1. Effect <strong>of</strong> Nandrolone Decanoate administration on body weight. Body weight is expressed as (final body weight – initial body<br />
weight /initial body weight ×100). n=15 in each group.<br />
Figure 2. Effect <strong>of</strong> Nandrolone Decanoate administration on sperm chromatin integrity. A) Acridine orange test applied to rat sperm<br />
showing a sperm with intact chromatin (green) and a sperm with damaged chromatin (yellow-orange), B) The percentage <strong>of</strong> sperm with<br />
abnormal chromatin integrity was higher in treated groups as compared to the control group. (Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n =15<br />
in each group, *p=0.001).<br />
Figure 3. Effect <strong>of</strong> Nandrolone Decanoate administration on testicular TBARS levels. Both low and high-dose receiving groups had a<br />
higher level <strong>of</strong> TBARS as compared to the control group. (Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6-9 in each group, *p=0.001).
