Journal of pineal research, 27(4), 230-236 (1999-11-07)
The aim of the present study was to determine whether the genetic differences previously reported in ewe plasma melatonin concentrations were correlated with differences in the synthesis and release of other 5-methoxyindoles. To determine if 5-methoxytryptophol (5-ML), which is known

The duck pineal gland rhythmically produces two 5-methoxyindole compounds, i.e. 5-methoxytryptophol and melatonin. 5-Methoxytryptophol levels are low at night and high during the day, while melatonin concentrations are high at night and low during the day. The melatonin rhythm reflects

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups. Two of the groups received a single intraperitoneal injection of melatonin and 5-methoxytryptamine (5 mg/kg body weight), respectively, at 9 PM. One group received an intraperitoneal injection of 5-methoxytryptophol (5 mg/kg

General and comparative endocrinology, 131(2), 168-175 (2003-04-08)
Daily patterns of melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol (5-ML) concentrations and of aryl alkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) and hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) activities have been measured in the cerebroid ganglions, visceral ganglions, and ocular tentacles of the gastropod mollusc Helix aspersa maxima. Melatonin concentrations are

Male C57 mice received 10 consecutive daily intraperitoneal injections of melatonin, 5-methoxytryptamine or 5-methoxytryptophol (5mg/kg body weight). Control mice received the alcoholic saline vehicle. All mice were sacrificed 24 hours after the last injection. Following extraction of RNA from peritoneal
