Expressions of 3β-HSD, 17β-HSD, and StAR mRNA in the testes of control, nicotine, icariin, and nicotine plus icariin groups. The mRNA levels were normalized using β-actin mRNA as internal control. The mRNA levels of the control group were set as 1. #P < 0.05 compared with the control group, *P < 0.05 compared to the nicotine-treated group. (n = 10). 3β-HSD, 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; 17β-HSD, 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; StAR, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein
