Effect of AM treatment on the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in Leydig cells. qRT-PCR was performed to determine the abundances of Bax (a) and Bcl-2 (b) mRNA in Leydig cells treated with 20 μg/mL of AM, and to further determine the effect of AM treatment on expression level of Bax and Bcl-2, we calculated the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax (c). Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA was normalized relative to the abundance of GAPDH mRNA. Results are depicted as mean +/- SE (n = 3). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
