Fig 5. Protein expression of StAR, but not P450scc, is decreased in the testis of Sickle and Hemi mice.

Protein expressions of P450scc (A) and StAR (B) in the testis of WT, Hemi, and Sickle mice were measured by Western immunoblot. Upper panels are representative Western immunoblots. Lower panels represent quantitative analyses of the proteins in the same groups. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 vs WT. n = 7–15. StAR = steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; P450scc = cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme.
