CM-SLCs transplantation recovers testosterone levels in monkeys with TD. (A) Schematic of the experimental procedure used for cell transplantation. (B-D) The concentrations of total testosterone (B), free testosterone (C), and bioavailable testosterone (D) were detected at the indicated time points in both groups. (E) Total testosterone/luteinizing hormone was measured at the indicated time points in both groups. (F) The cynomolgus monkeys (M6 and M8) in the CM-SLCs transplanted group appeared to exhibit a circadian rhythm of testosterone secretion. (G) The testosterone secretion ability of CM-SLCs monkeys (M6 and M8) was suppressed by decapeptyl treatment. Data are expressed as the mean ± sem and were analyzed by Student's t-test; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
