摘要: The continuous administration of low levels melatonin via intraperitoneally placed Silastic capsules either (i) shortened the free-running period activity or (ii) induced in house sparrows (Passer domesticus) maintained constant darkness. After melatonin-filled were removed, circadian rhythm lengthened rhythmic birds and normal rhythmicity was restored continuously active birds. results suggest that is involved physiological control sparrows.
