Fig. 3From: The potential therapeutic effects of Lactobacillus plantarum and inulin on serum and testicular reproductive markers in diabetic male ratsEffects of L. plantarum and inulin on Kisspeptin and AR expression in the rat testis. a The protein levels of AR in testis from the control and diabetic rats, as determined by western blot analysis. b Relative protein quantification of testicular AR, on the basis of β-actin. c Relative protein quantification of testicular kisspeptin, on the basis of β-actin. HC,  Healthy Control; DC,  Diabetic Control; DSh,  Diabetic Sham; DL,  Diabetics treated by L. plantarum; DI,  Diabetics treated by inulin; DLI,  Diabetics treated by L. plantarum and inulin. Data are presented as mean ± SD and calculated by ANOVA and a post hoc Tukey’s test. Values are regarded as significantly different at P < 0.05. *P < 0.05 compared with the HC group. #P < 0.05 compared with the DC group. †P < 0.05 compared with the DSh groupBack to article page
