Increasing intake of soybean oil enhanced steroidogenic enzyme expression in the testis. A RT‐PCR analysis of the expression of StAR, CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and 3β‐HSD mRNA in testes from mice in the ND or SOY group (n = 6 for each group). B RT‐PCR analysis of the expression of SF-1 mRNA in testes from mice in the ND or SOY group (n = 6 for each group). C Immunoblot and quantitative analysis of StAR, CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and 3β‐HSD protein in testes of mice in the ND or SOY group (n = 3 for each group). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
