Profile of melatonin and its receptors and synthesizing enzymes in cumulus–oocyte complexes of the developing sheep antral follicle—a potential estradiol-mediated mechanism

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 synthesis enzymes AANAT and HIOMT and melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 in sheep cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) as well as t...
