摘要: The ontogeny of the pineal melatonin rhythm was determined in three rodent species. Pineal glands were obtained either during day or expected peak at night. In all species first detected second week life. Investigations photic regulation revealed that light could inhibit nocturnal increase by end These studies indicate for these development and mechanism involved suppression are independent role gland plays regulating reproductive function response to changes environmental lighting.
