Long noncoding RNA expression profile changes associated with dietary energy in the sheep testis during sexual maturation

Abstract Spermatogenesis can be affected by nutrition, which operates through normal physiological processes by changing the testicular mass and hormone levels profoundly. However, little is known regarding how testis development is regulated by long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). In this study, we investi...
