Abstract
Thrice daily melatonin injections inhibit reproductive functions in pinealectomized male hamsters, as measured by sex organ weights and plasma testosterone levels. Total or anterior, but not posterior, hypothalamic deafferentation prevented the antigonadotrophic effect of melatonin. The findings suggest a site of action of melatonin within the central nervous system.Entities:
