Background Melatonin is an amine hormone that plays an important role in regulating
mammalian reproduction. This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule that mediates several circadian and seasonal
reproductive processes. The exact role of melatonin in modulating reproduction, however, is …

(1) Background: The binding sites of melatonin, as a multifunctional molecule, have been
identified in human, porcine, and bovine samples. However, the binding sites and …

This study aims to investigate the (1) expression of melatonin receptors types 1A/B
(MTNR1A/B) in bovine ovaries and (2) the in vitro effects of melatonin on secondary follicle …

Corpus luteum (CL) plays a critical role in mammalian reproductive physiology. Its
dysfunction will lead to infertility or habitual abortion. In the current study, by use of …

This study was performed to investigate the effect of melatonin on bovine oocyte maturation
and subsequent embryonic development in vitro. The endogenous melatonin concentration …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule with numerous biological activities. The fact that
melatonin modulates the functions of porcine granulosa cells via the MT2 receptor suggests …

Melatonin is a well‐characterized antioxidant that has been successfully used to protect
oocytes from reactive oxygen species during in vitro maturation (IVM), resulting in improved …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule that mediates several circadian and seasonal
processes in animal reproduction. Melatonin and its metabolites are antioxidants and free …

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of melatonin on the in vitro culture and maturation of
isolated sheep early antral follicles. Isolated early antral follicles were cultured for 12 d in α …
