Central neural control of pineal melatonin synthesis in the rat.

M Møller, S Reuss, J Olcese, J Stehle, L Vollrath.   

Abstract

To investigate a possible central neural influence on nocturnal pineal metabolic activity in rats, frontal transsections of the stria medullaris thalami were conducted. Enzymes involved in melatonin synthesis, i.e. N-acetyltransferase and hydroxyindole-O-methyl-transferase, exhibited reduced activities in operated animals when compared to controls. These results indicate a modulatory role of central structures on nocturnal pineal indole metabolism.
