p,p-DDE Induces Apoptosis of Rat Sertoli Cells via a FasL-Dependent Pathway

Figure 4

Effects of different p, -DDE concentrations on the FasL and caspase-3 and -8 mRNA in rat Sertoli cells by RT-PCR (a)–(c). Quantitative analysis of FasL and caspase-3 and -8 mRNA levels of rat Sertoli cells exposed to different doses of p, -DDE (d). The data were obtained from the bands on the gels that were measured by densitometric analysis and standardized by comparison to the -actin control using Biocapt MV software analysis system. Significant difference is (*) , compared with the control group.
