Circulating testosterone and corticosterone levels in WT, HE, and HO Tspo cKO mice treated with and without hCG or ACTH. (A) Plasma testosterone levels from basal and hCG-treated WT, HE, and HO mice. No significant differences compared with the control were found. Mann–Whitney U test, P > 0.05; n = 14–20 animals per group. (B) Plasma corticosterone levels from basal and ACTH-treated WT, HE, and HO mice. Mann–Whitney U test; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; n = 10–13 animals per group. Lower plots show basal and ACTH-induced corticosterone levels in individual WT, HE, and HO mice.
