17α,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) treatment rescues the testis organization and spermatogenesis in the ar-/- males.

(A, B) Anatomical examination of ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in system water. (C, D) Anatomical examination of ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in DHP. Green and black arrows indicate the decreased and normal testis, respectively, in the ar-/- males. (E) Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) from ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in system water and DHP, respectively. (F, G) Histological analyses of testes from ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in system water. (H, I) Histological analyses of testes from ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in DHP. (J) Statistical analysis of the spermatozoa (SZ) number in each lumen of seminiferous tubules from the ar+/+ males and ar-/- males reared in system water and DHP, respectively. (K) The DHP concentrations measurement of the ar-/- males reared in system water and DHP, respectively. *p<0.05; **p<0.01. n.s., no significance; SC: spermatocytes; SG: spermatogonia.
