In vivo, no difference in LC-regeneration was noted between Sham and hAd-PSC-transplanted rats. Interestingly, Cyp17a1 expression increased in hAd-PSC-transplanted testes compared to intact vehicle controls and the luteinising hormone/testosterone ratio returned to Vehicle control levels which was not the case in EDS + Sham animals. Notably, hAd-PSCs were undetectable one-month after transplantation suggesting this effect is likely mediated via paracrine mechanisms during the initial stages of regeneration; either directly by interacting with regenerating LCs, or through indirect interactions with trophic macrophages.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 09:17:40 AEDT ]]> A young testicular microenvironment protects Leydig cells against age-related dysfunction in a mouse model of premature aging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45503 Fri 28 Oct 2022 16:07:11 AEDT ]]>
