...tocin signaling pathway, melanogenesis, thyroid hormone synthesis, and insulin secretion. Online tool was used to predict the function of DEGs, the results showed that the CYP11A1 gene might regulate the GDF9 and other prolificacy-associated markers in ovary organs of goats, thereby affecting the development of puberty. The expression of various genes and the transduction of hormone secretion signals, improving the reproduction of goats.

a key enzyme of melanogenesis which determines the mammalian skin, hair and eye

colour. Hyper-pigmentation leads to various skin disorders like melasma, sunspots, age

spots and freckles. Moreover, abnormal skin pigmentation is a serious aesthetic concern

which leads to psychosocial problems. Thus to achieve melanin inhibition, inhibition of

tyrosinase might be an effective approach. To this end we prepar...

...inase is a key enzyme in melanogenesis. Its high activity is associated with increased pigmentation causing skin disorders like freckles, melasma and black spots. Therefore, search for new tyrosinase inhibitors is desirable. In present study, methanolic (MeOH) extracts from leaves, fruit peel and pulp of Citrus bergamia (C. bergamia) and, leaves and fruit of Ficus carica (F. carica) were prepared which were further processed for fractional distillation using e...
