The ultrastructure of the spermatogonia and spermatocytes after the inhibition of Eg5. a Electron microscopic images of the spermatogonia in the Control and Monastrol groups. The 6-week-old mice were treated by Monastrol (50 μM). The arrows indicated the nucleolus and electron-dense region in the nucleus. Scale bar, 2 μm. b The quantifications of chromatin mass density in the spermatogonium were performed by the measurement of the value of separation r (pixel) in the original images (n = 6). c Comparisons of the average ACF (autocorrelation functions) and the calculated D-value of the spermatogonium in the Control and Monastrol groups. A boxplot indicated all D values corresponding to their correlation functions. d Electron microscopic images of the spermatocytes in the Control and Monastrol (50 μM) groups. The arrows indicated the heterochromatin in the nucleus. Scale bar, 5 μm. e The quantifications of chromatin mass density in the spermatocytes. The values of separation r (pixel) in the original images (n = 6) were shown. f The diagrams of the calculated D-value in the Control and Monastrol (50 μM) groups
