Résumé
Low-energy shock waves (LESWs) have been widely used in the intervention of a subset of diseased tissues and organs with good results. However, it is unclear whether they can be used directly to intervene in the testes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine a relatively safe energy density and impulse number for rat testes. A total of 176 male rats were randomly and equally assigned to different intervention groups. Among them, 144 rats were assigned to 18 shock subgroups with different energy densities (0.02, 0.04 and 0.06 mJ/mm
