## Abstract The response of the circadian rhythm in N‐acetyltransferase (NAT) activity to phase‐shifted light cycles was examined in vitro in explant cultures of chick (Gallus domesticus) pineal glands. Bisected portions of glands, obtained from birds housed in a lightβ€”dark cycle (LD 12:12), were e

The pineal and the eyes are known to be important components in the circadian system of some species of lizards; their effects may be mediated by the hormone melatonin. We examined the role played by these structures in the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). Surgical removal of the pineal had no

Sympathetic nerves of the pineal gland contain both serotonin and norepinephrine. Inhibition of norepinephrine synthesis with a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, a-methyl-p-tyrosine (aMPT) , causes an elevation of pineal serotonin. The administration of dopamine or norepinephrine blocks the elevation
