  1. Data are presented in mean ± SEM. The differences were tested by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test; n = 10 for each group. *Significant at P < 0.05; ** Significant at P < 0.01; *** Significant at P < 0.001- versus CTR group; # Significant at P < 0.05; ##Significant at P < 0.01; - versus VC group. CTR control, MAS 200 MAS 200 mg/kg p.o., VC varicocele, VC + MAS 200 MAS 200 mg/kg p.o., p.o. per oral, ANOVA analysis of variance, SEM standard error of the mean
