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
The nocturnal pattern of Syrian hamster pineal melatonin synthesis is characterized by a 6-8 h lag period, followed by a late-night, short-duration peak in both N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity and melatonin content. Administration of cycloheximide (20 mgkg body weight) given either at the time of
