Exogenous melatonin and photoperiodic regulation of melatonin membrane receptors, steroidogenesis and testicular histomorphology in sexually mature guinea fowl (Numida meleagris)

Seasonal reproduction in birds is regulated by photoperiod and melatonin through receptor-mediated signaling. However, their combined effects on testicular steroidogenic pathways, melatonin receptor expression and antioxidant defence-related gene expression remain poorly understo...
