It is well known that certain imidazoline compounds can stimulate insulin secretion and this has been attributed to the activation of imidazoline I(3) binding sites in the pancreatic beta-cell. Recently, it has been proposed that beta-carbolines may be endogenous ligands

Pinoline (6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline) has been found in similar concentrations to those of melatonin in various mammalian tissues. The present study investigates the subcellular distribution of in vivo administered [3H]-pinoline in mouse tissues using light and electron microscopic autoradiography. The antioxidative capacity

Journal of pineal research, 24(2), 96-101 (1998-03-24)
Several recent experiments have shown that melatonin is an efficient antioxidant and free radical scavenger. In the present study the antioxidative effect of melatonin was compared with that of pinoline. Pinoline (6-methoxy-tetrahydro-beta-carboline) can be formed in the mammalian body under

Oxygen consumption is a necessity for all aerobic organisms, but oxygen is also a toxic molecule that leads to the generation of free radicals. The brain consumes a high percentage of the oxygen inhaled (18.5%), and it contains large amounts
Sergio Millán-Plano et al.
International journal of molecular sciences, 11(1), 312-328 (2010-02-18)
Since biological membranes are composed of lipids and proteins we tested the in vitro antioxidant properties of several indoleamines from the tryptophan metabolic pathway in the pineal gland against oxidative damage to lipids and proteins of synaptosomes isolated from the
