Circadian clock gene BMAL1 controls testosterone production by regulating steroidogenesis‐related gene transcription in goat Leydig cells
17 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Testosterone is produced by Leydig cells (LCs) and undergoes diurnal changes in serum levels in rats, mice, and humans, but little is known in goats. The present study revealed that goat serum testosterone levels displayed diurnal rhythmic changes (peak time at ZT11.2). Immunohistochemical staining showed that BMAL1, a circadian clock protein, is highly expressed in goat LCs. ELISA revealed that both hCG (0-5...
