The interference of CXCL14 weakened the inhibitory effect of melatonin on testosterone synthesis in rooster Leydig cells. (A) The interference of CXCL14 and treatment with melatonin for 48 h increased the level of testosterone in rooster Leydig cells. (B–G) The interference of CXCL14 and treatment with melatonin for 48 h increased the the relative mRNA and protein expression of StAR, CYP11A1, and 3β-HSD in rooster Leydig cells. All data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3), * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.
