Relative expression of TLR2 (A) of MPMs from sham males, OQX males, and females. A1 Sham males, OQX males, and females: inoculated with 10 µL of S. aureus [6 h (108 CFU)]; A2 Sham males, OQX males, and females: pre-treated with 100 µL of DHT [24 h (10–2 M)] and inoculated with 10 µL of S. aureus [6 h (108 CFU)]. Relative expression of NF-κB (B) of MPMs from sham males, OQX males, and females. B1 Sham males, OQX males, and females: inoculated with 10 µL of S. aureus [6 h (108 CFU)]; (B2): Sham males, OQX males, and females: pre-treated with 100 µL of DHT [24 h (10–2 M)] and inoculated with 10 µL of S. aureus [6 h (108 CFU)]. Data are expressed as mean ± SDM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
