Injection of the pineal indoles melatonin, 5-methoxytryptophol and 5-methoxytryptamine via the external jugular vein elicited a dose-dependent depression in mean arterial pressure. Melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol were approximately equipotent and a dose of 150 micromol/kg brought about a reduction of about
