Morphometric aspects of the seminiferous tubules in mice treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. a Thickness of the epithelium and diameter of tubules and lumen of the seminiferous tubules of control and treated animals. b Total support capacity of Sertoli cells during stages I, V, VII/VIII and XII of the seminiferous epithelium cycle of control and treated animals. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM. The various letters indicate significant differences between the analyzed groups as determined via one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey test as a post hoc test (a, p < 0.001; b, p < 0.0001). C, control; CAP, captopril; (inv)10c, containing the inverted BPP-10c sequence; 10c, BPP-10c; 11e, BPP-11e; AP, BPP-AP
