An attempt was made to use the pineal gland as a model for the study of the primary mode of action of alpha-methyldopa, which is still unclear. Organ cultures of pineal glands from rats treated chronically with alpha-methyldopa showed enhanced conversion of radio-active serotonin to melatonin (aMT)
