## Abstract The response of the circadian rhythm in Nβacetyltransferase (NAT) activity to phaseβshifted 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 lightβdark cycle (LD 12:12), were e

Neurotransmitters are known to play an important role in the development of the nervous system. We recently generated transgenic mice that ectopically express tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and thereby produce dopamine (DA) de novo in pinealocytes of the pineal gland (PG). The transgenic PG also exhibite
## Background: The previous results regarding regional and day-night differences in pinealocyte size in rats are conflicting. the relationships between these differences and the vascularity and sympathetic innervation have scarcely been investigated. ## Methods: Wistar-king rats, kept under light
## Abstract The onset of circadian rhythms in many animals occurs during prenatal development. We conducted four experiments, using the domestic chick as a model, to assess when these rhythms can first be entrained and the type of light zeitgeber necessary. In Experiment 1, the presence of circadia
By using in situ hybridization in the golden hamster brain, we have found that vgf mRNA levels are induced as a response to light stimulation in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the site of the mammalian circadian pacemaker. The induction exhibits delayed kinetics relative to known light-induced im
## Abstract The formation of dansyl derivatives of amino acids, 5βhydroxyindoleacetic acid and histamine, and their separation on polyamide plates provides a reliable and sensitive method for studying circadian changes in single pineal and pituitary glands of the rat. There appears to be no correla
