Transverses section of corpus of epididymis of Wistar Rats aged 66 days. (A) corpus in non-treated group (G1) showed tubulars lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelial that consist of principle cell (PC) and it was full with sperms (S). HandE, 100X (B) Corpus of epididymis of treated groups (G2) with 50µg/rat of estradiol benzoate, showed tubules separated by loose connective tissue (CO) as septa (SP) that rich with of collagen fibers (CA) and surrounded by smooth muscle fibers (SM). Tubular lumen (LM) devoid of sperms and there was hyperplasia (HP) with increased in thickness of epithelial and appeared cribriform forms (CR), and increase of bubbly lipid vacuolization (V) in the supra-nuclear area of the principal cells and inflammatory infiltrate (FC).
