Postnatal expression of phoenixin-14 and GPR173 gene and protein in the mice testis and its effect on steroidogenesis in the early stage.

Studied

Laboratory work examined how phoenixin-14 affects testosterone secretion.

Who / model

Testicular development was assessed from postnatal day 7 to day 65. Sample sizes and the duration of laboratory exposure are not stated.

Studied dose & schedule

Dose and schedule have not yet been extracted for this summary.

Found

Phoenixin-14 increased testosterone secretion at both tested concentrations, with the lower concentration producing more secretion and increased expression of steroid-producing genes. These are laboratory findings.

Limits

Study limitations were not stated in the abstract. Methodological quality has not been appraised.
