Immersion of the scrotal testis of the rat in water at 42°C for 30 min caused rapid damage to pachytene primary spermatocytes in stages 1, 2, 3, and occasionally 8 of the seminiferous epithelium. There was cytoplasmic chromophilia with eosin or Alcian blue and binding of the fluorescent dye 2-p-toluidinylnapthalene-6-sulphonate to the cell membranes. Rapid dissolution of damaged cells occurred and most had disappeared by 28 hr after heating. Early round spermatids also showed nuclear changes with vacuolation and the development of “signet ring” nuclei. Quantitative estimates of germ cell damage showed that the pre-meiotic stages were most susceptible to heat and that the later stages showed mainly maturation depletion changes. Acid phosphatase and leucine aminopeptidase showed early histochemical increases about the damaged pachytene primary spermatocytes and these persisted until the damaged cells had been removed. Changes in the distribution of lactate and succinate dehydrogenases were also seen after heating.
