Moreover, trichlorfon suppressed the expression of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) mRNA and protein, and also profoundly inhibited the activity of P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), rather than 3beta-hydorxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD).

Furthermore, our results found that 22 (R)-hydroxycholesterol (22R-HC) could remove the inhibitory action of trichlorfon on progesterone biosynthesis, indicating that trichlorfon caused a disruption of cholesterol transport across mitochondrial membranes, which was further confirmed by the observation that trichlorfon dose-dependently inhibited the mRNA level of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR).
