The effect of TA on the reproduction-related hormones concentration and StAR expression. Concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) (6), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (7), and testosterone (T) (8) in the serum and relative mRNA expression levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) (9) in the testes of male Lasiopodomys brandtii provided low dose (3 mg/mL) and high dose (6 mg/mL) tannic acid (TA). Error bars indicate standard error. Same letters connect bars with no significant differences at p < 0.05 (n = 6).
