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
Microglia in the pineal gland of 1-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were examined by OX-42 immunocytochemistry and DiI-acetylated-LDL uptake in pineal cell suspension and were found to comprise 3-5% of the total cells in the pineal gland of the neonates. In order to investigate the effects of microglia o
