SCE has various biological effects, such as anti\u2010inflammation and antioxidation, and it is commonly found in animal feed. The present research is aimed at investigating the reproductive endocrine influence of SCE in male Japanese quails (<jats:italic>Coturnix japonica<\/jats:italic>) by feeding SCE containing food. In addition, in vitro Leydig cell culture was conducted to clarify the mechanism of SCE's influence. Our results showed that SCE feed extended the latency to the first neck grab, decreased male quail testis and epididymis weights, cloaca gland size, and reduced serum testosterone concentrations. Steroidogenic enzymes <jats:italic>3\u03b2HSD<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>17\u03b2HSD<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>P450c17<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>P450scc<\/jats:italic> gene expression in the testis were decreased in the SCE groups. Western blot analysis showed decreased 3\u03b2HSD in the testis after feeding SCE. Isolated testicular interstitial cells cultured with SCE and ovine\u2010LH suppressed testosterone secretion and <jats:italic>3\u03b2HSD<\/jats:italic> gene expression. In conclusion, SCE as a feed additive has an impact on the sexual behavior and reproductive function of male Japanese quail, with the suppression of steroidogenesis in the Leydig cell. Our results may provide beneficial information to the livestock management and the poultry industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jez.2633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]],"date-time":"2022-06-13T05:21:15Z","timestamp":1655097675000},"page":"760-767","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects
