Representative photomicrographs of testis in Control (a), Diabetic (b), Diabetic + G (c), Diabetic + C (d), and Diabetic + GC (e) groups. In c, some tubules show a relatively normal structure (hollow star) and some tubules show a degenerative structure (filled star). In d, a number of tubules do not have a complete spermatogenesis process (hollow stars) (H & E, Scale bars: 100µm). For seminiferous epithelial height (I), seminiferous tubular diameter (II), meiotic index (III), spermatogenesis (IV) and Johnson’s score (V), values are mean ± SEM. *** p < 0.001 against Control group. ** p < 0.01 against Control group. * p < 0.05 against Control group. ### p < 0.001 against Diabetic group. ## p < 0.01 against Diabetic group. # p < 0.05 against Diabetic group. $$ p < 0.01 against Diabetic + G group. $ p < 0.05 against Diabetic + G group. Diabetic + G: Diabetic rats treated with garlic at a dose of 0.5 ml/100g BW. Diabetic + C: Diabetic rats treated with C. colocynthis at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW. Diabetic + GC: Diabetic rats treated with garlic and C. colocynthis at a dose of 0.5 ml/100g BW and 5 mg/kg BW respectively
