“…Rats (n=36) ( 25 , 46 – 54 , 56 , 58 – 82 ) and mice (n=5) ( 55 , 57 , 83 – 85 ) were the subjects in the included studies. Studies employed direct heat (n=3) ( 82 , 84 , 85 ), cryptorchidism (n=2) ( 58 , 72 ), varicocele (n=3) ( 60 , 73 , 77 ), torsion-detorsion (n=18) ( 25 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 54 , 56 , 59 , 62 – 66 , 74 , 75 , 78 – 81 ), testicular vascular occlusion (n=4) ( 52 , 53 , 61 , 67 ), hypobaric hypoxia (n=3) ( 47 , 51 , 55 ), ischemia-reperfusion (n=2) ( 50 , 76 ), stress by excessive (n=3) ( 68 , 69 , 71 ) or restraint (n=1) ( 83 ) activity, spinal cord injury (n=1) ( 57 ), and trauma (n=1) ( 70 ). Studies induced the stress mechanisms bilaterally (n=16) ( 47 , 48 , 50 , 51 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 68 , 69 , 71 , 72 , 75 , 76 , 82 – 85 ) and unilaterally (n=25) ( 25 , 46 , 49 , ...…”
