The normal testis, left, comes from a healthy male rat. Tissues center and right come from a rat exposed to DEHP while its reproductive tract was maturing. The center tissue is a small testis filled with fluid. The corresponding tissue from the other side of the same animal exhibits no visible testis or sperm-storing epididymis. Another DEHP-exposed animal from the same set of EPA tests developed a "testis" that was nothing but a sack of blood.
