Melatonin receptor depletion suppressed hCG-induced testosterone expression in mouse Leydig cells

Abstract Melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 (genes officially named MTNR1A and MTNR1B, respectively) play crucial roles in melatonin-mediated regulation of circadian rhythms, the immune system, and control of reproduction in seasonally breeding animals. In this study, immunolocalization assay showed th...
