Journal of pineal research, 17(2), 69-78 (1994-09-01)
The effect of benzodiazepines (BZP) on melatonin release was investigated in the pineal gland of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, maintained under in vitro perifusion culture conditions. Melatonin and the methoxyindoles 5-methoxytryptophol (5-MTOL), 5-methoxyindoleacetic acid (5-MIAA), and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) were

In intact Wistar pubertal male rats held on LD 8:16 (winter) and 16:8 (summer) pineal melatonin (M) production and other pineal indoles content serotonin (S), 5-methoxytriptamine (5-MT), N-acetylserotonin (N-aS), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 5-methoxyindoleacetic acid (5-MIAA) were investigated in basic

Foxy is the colloquial name for the hallucinogen 5-ethoxy-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT). A non-fatality involving a 23-year-old Caucasian man who ingested a capsule containing 5-MeO-DIPT is described. He presented to the Emergency Department, not with visual nor auditory hallucinations but with sensory
M S Grace et al.
Neuroscience, 62(2), 615-623 (1994-09-01)
Melatonin modulates a variety of rhythmic processes in vertebrates, and is synthesized in both the retina and pineal gland. We have shown previously that retinal melatonin is deacetylated generating 5-methoxytryptamine, which is then deaminated by monoamine oxidase, producing 5-methoxyindoleacetic acid
J Yáñez et al.
Neurochemistry international, 27(2), 195-200 (1995-08-01)
Synthesis and release of the pineal hormone melatonin is in all vertebrates primarily regulated by the light/dark cycle. In pineal organs of teleost fish, like in other non-mammalian vertebrates, melatonin formation is regulated by a direct photoreception of the pineal
