Male, 8-week-old Wistar rats were anesthetized, the efferent duct of each testicle was ligated, and the testicles were removed (20 animals). The sham animals (20 animals) were submitted to the same surgical procedures without efferent duct ligation. All experimental protocols were carried out 4 weeks after the orchiectomy surgery.
