The melatonin rhythm: both a clock and a calendar
RJ Reiter - Experientia, 1993 - Springer
The paper briefly reviews the data which shows that the circadian production and secretion
of melatonin by the pineal gland can impart both daily, ie, clock, and seasonal, ie, calendar …

Melatonin and circadian control in mammals
SM Armstrong - Experientia, 1989 - Springer
Although pinealectomy has little influence on the circadian locomotor rhythms of laboratory

Melatonin: presence and formation in invertebrates
B Vivien-Roels, P Pévet - Experientia, 1993 - Springer
In vertebrates, it is now clearly demonstrated that the pineal gland is implicated in conveying
photoperiodic information via the daily pattern of melatonin secretion. Invertebrates, like …
