Figure Lengend Snippet: The secretion of testosterone ( a , b ), estradiol ( c , d ), and progesterone ( e , f ) after 48 h of exposure to AOH and DHEA, evaluated by ELISA tests in PC3 and PNT1A cells. Results are presented as mean ± SE. One-way ANOVA was used to perform statistical analysis of the results, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. AOH—alternariol, DHEA—dehydroepiandrosterone, Cnt—control.
Article Snippet: The normal human prostate epithelial cell line PNT1A and the prostate adenocarcinoma cell line PC3 were obtained from the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and maintained in a humidified incubator (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ).
Techniques: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Control
