High impact information on CCRIS 4249

These results indicate that gonadal refractoriness is due to insensitivity of the target tissues of the pineal gland and imply that melantonin participates in photoperiodic regulation of reproduction in the golden hamster [1].
Retinal rhythms in chicks: circadian variation in melantonin and serotonin N-acetyltransferase activity [2].
