Pineal concentrations of N-acetylserotonin and melatonin and serum levels of melatonin were studied in 3-wk-old (prepubertal), 8-wk-old (adult), and 17-mo-old (senile) male rats. They were adapted to a photoperiod of 12 h light112 h darkness for a minimum of 1 wk and killed at mid-light and mid-dark
## Abstract The levels of Nβacetylserotonin and melatonin (nβacetylβ5βmethoxytryptamine) in the rat brain were studied. Male rats were housed under a photoperiod of 12L:12D. After 2 weeks, the rats were sacrificed in light or in dark at 4βhour intervals round the clock. Brain melatonin and Nβacetyl
