Abstract:Melatonin, primarily produced by pineal gland, shows a rhythmic pattern of synthesis in response to environmental cues. Hitherto, the role of testicular melatonin in the regulation of annual spermatogenic cycle is indeterminate in any fish species. Present study aims to explore a correlation, for the first time, of melatonin with cellular stress levels in accordance to the rhythmic progression of spermatogenesis through six distinct reproductive phases of an annual gonadal cycle of catfish, Clarias batrachus u… Show more
