Gene and protein expression in the skin of 2-year-old and 7-year-old cashmere goats treated with melatonin (MT) or not treated (CK) at different ages. (A) Levels from qRT-PCR and RNAseq for: cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-3 (COX-3), superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD-3), glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX-1), nuclear factor Nrf2, numerals represent ages, 2 or 7 years. (B) Western blots showing Keap-1, Nrf2, and β-actin. All the values in A are the mean ± standard deviation. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, CK vs. MT (n = 3).
