Pineal melatonin rhythms in the lizard Anolis carolinensis: II. Photoreceptive inputs.

abstract：:Mice homozygous for a dominant-negative allele of the Clock gene (Clock (Δ19/Δ19)) have slightly but significantly decreased male fertility. The molecular mechanism for this reduction in fertility is unknown. In the present study, we used a small hairpin RNA (shRNA) strategy to specifically knock down the Clock gene e...
