Fig. 1. Testicular steroidogenic enzyme activities and StAR protein levels in experimental rats. (A) 3β-HSD: 3β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, (B) 17β-HSD: 17β- Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and (C) StAR protein: Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein. Various letters were referred to statistical differences among groups at level (p < 0.05). (C): Control group, (Pb): Lead acetate group, (Pb + Vitamin E): Lead acetate + 100 mg/kg.b.w of vitamin E group, (Pb + KAF): Pb + 50 mg/kg.b.w. of kaempferol group, and (Pb + KAF + Vitamin E): Pb + 50 mg/kg.b.w. of kaempferol + 100 mg/kg.b.w. of vitamin E group.
