Figure 4

Effect of DEHP exposure on the expression of different steroidogenic enzymes mRNA. (A, B) StAR mRNA levels in the ovary on day 9 (A) and 13 (B) of pregnancy. (C, D) CYP11A mRNA levels in the ovary on day 9 (C) and 13 (D) of pregnancy. (E, F) 3β-HSD mRNA levels in the ovary on day 9 (E) and 13 (F) of pregnancy. mRNAs levels were quantified using quantitative PCR and were normalized to 18S. The data are represented as the means +/− SD of 10 animals. Groups with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05, ANOVA followed by LSD multiple range test).
