Using in vivo microdialysis, effects of retinally perceived light on pineal melatonin release and its rhythmicity was examined in the pigeon. In the first experiment, light-induced suppression of pineal melatonin release was studied. Although light given to the whole body during the dark strongly su
Although pinealectomy or blinding resulted in loss of the clarity of the free-running rhythm of locomotor activity and body temperature and reduced the peak level of circulating melatonin rhythms to approximately a half in intact pigeons, neither pinealectomy nor blinding abolished any of these rhyt
Determination of minute amounts of endogenous melatonin in rat and mouse pineal gland was performed using an RP-HPLC system. Melatonin was separated following precolumn derivatization and determined with a fluorescence detector at the emission wavelength of 380 nm with the excitation at 245 nm. The
