ATG5 gene regulates testosterone synthesis of testicular Leydig cells in Hezuo pig

Autophagy-related gene 5 (ATG5) plays a crucial role in autophagosome formation. Recent studies have investigated the role of autophagy in regulating testosterone production; however, its expression in testicular tissues and Leydig cells of Hezuo pig remains less understood. In this study, we cloned...
