Expression of markers and regulators of adrenal steroidogenesis. a–i Relative adrenal gene expression of markers and regulators of adrenal steroidogenesis: MC2R (a), MRAP (b), HDL-R (c), LDL-R (d), HMG-CoA reductase (e), StAR (f), P450scc (g), steroid 11β dehydrogenase (h) and TNF-α (i). Bars and whiskers represent median and interquartile range. Shaded gray area represents interquartile range of the controls. *p ≤ 0.05 compared to the healthy control group mice. AU, arbitrary units; D, days
