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
## Abstract The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of various monochromatic lights on plasma melatonin (MT) levels and the expression of arylalkylamine __N__‐acetyltransferase (AANAT) mRNA in the pineal gland and retina. A total of 160 newly hatched (posthatching day 1, P1) broilers,
The involvement of the Harderian gland, atrophied eyes, and melatonin in the perception of photoperiodic changes has been studied in the mole rat, a fossorial blind mammal the thermoregulatory capacity of which is photoperiod-dependent. When transferred from a long photoperiod to a short one, mole r
