Histological analyses of fetal testes at GD60 and GD90. Fetal weights at gestational day (GD) 45, 60, and 90 (A), paired fetal testes weight at GD60 and 90 (B), and paired testes weight as a percentage of body weight at GD60 and 90 (C) were compared between fetuses of different size. The number of seminiferous tubules (D), seminiferous tubule diameter (E), seminiferous tubule area (F), number of germ cells per tubule (G), and number of sertoli cells per tubule (H) were compared between fetuses of different sizes at GD60 and 90. Mean values presented. Error bars represent S.E.M. CTMLW = closest to mean litter weight. n = 4–6 per fetal size per gestational day.
