Popis: The development of the testes includes changes in cell morphology and endocrine levels that are essential for the maturation of males. A large number of novel proteins are expressed throughout testis development and play important roles in spermatogenesis. Differences in protein expressions during the development of porcine testes have not been systematically studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate differential protein expression in porcine testes during postnatal development. Testes from four pigs each at 1wk, 3mo, and 1yr of age were used for a proteomic analysis. Expression levels of 264 protein spots were quantified using the Melanie 3 software. In total, 108 protein spots showed more than 2-fold differences (P
