S.c. injection of 25 microgram of methoxytryptamine (5-MT) in oil into adult male hamsters given between 4.30 and 5 p.m. (light on from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.: 14 L/10 D) for 51 consecutive days caused involution of the testes.
Melatonin and other 5-methoxyindoles are compounds usually associated with the pineal gland. Research is expanding from studies of pineal melatonin to studies of extrapineal organs and of other 5-methoxyindoles besides melatonin. Research in recent years has shown that the retina
The change in permanent dipole moment (magnitude of delta mu) for the transition from the 1La state to the ground state of tryptophan is the key photophysical parameter for the interpretation of tryptophan fluorescence spectra in terms of static and
A correlative radioimmunological-biochemical-ultrastructural study of the rat pineal gland was undertaken during the summer months when pineal arginine vasotocin (AVT) immunoactivity increases up to 200-fold. RIA confirmed a rapid rise in AVT activity during mid-August regardless of the time of
Markedly increased melatonin levels in plasma have been observed in response to tryptophan administration. This post-tryptophan melatonin increase has been attributed to the duodenum. Because extra-pineal sources of melatonin may be important in interpreting the meaning of altered melatonin production
