Effects of SNPs in <i>AANAT</i> and <i>ASMT</i> Genes on Milk and Peripheral Blood Melatonin Concentrations in Holstein Cows (<i>Bos taurus</i>)

Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) and acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase (ASMT), the two rate-limiting enzymes for melatonin synthesis, regulate melatonin production in mammals. Through analysis of the milk melatonin level and dairy herd improvement (DHI) index, it was found that the melaton...
