Abstract
Melatonin administration decreased the weight of the testes and the height of the cells lining the renal sex segment of breeding male garden lizards, Calotes versicolor. The effects were proportional to the amount of melatonin injected and the duration of the treatment.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
