Maturation status of Sertoli cells present in testicular fragments cultured for 5 weeks. (a) AMH (brown) immunohistochemistry. Scale bars: black = 50 μm; grey = 100 μm. (b) Percentage of seminiferous tubules containing AMH-positive SCs in fresh (pink) and cryopreserved (blue) testicular fragments cultured in medium without (medium I; faint colour) or with FSH/LH supplementation (medium II; dark colour). Single dots represent results from individual patients, and the boxplot displays the median and 25th and 75th percentiles of all patients at each time point in culture. Mixed-effect linear model revealed a statistically significant reduction (P ≤ 0.001) during culture.
