Evaluation of platelet indices and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio in experimentally varicocele-induced adolescent and adult rats.

The present study investigated the sperm quality parameters and platelet indices in adolescent and adult varicocele rats. Twenty male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 5): I-sham adolescent group, II-sham adult group, III-varicocele adolescent group, and IV-varicocele adult group. Rats were sacrificed on the 61st day of the experiment.
