- W1500863313 abstract "The pineal gland, or epiphysis cerebri (Fig. 1), a neuroendocrine organ, is one of the major parts of the circadian system, which also includes the eyes and the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus. The pineal gland exerts important regulatory influences by secreting its hormone, melatonin (Fig. 2), in variable amounts, depending on the time of day; the animal’s age; and, in some species, the time of year. The daily rhythm in circulating melatonin is characterized by very low concentrations during the day and high levels at night (Fig. 3). This rhythm persists in constant darkness but can be altered by nighttime light exposure, because light can acutely suppress melatonin production. Normal daily variations in melatonin secretion synchronize numerous body rhythms and, in diurnal species, probably are important for nighttime sleep initiation and maintenance. Since the onset and offset of melatonin production by the pineal gland occur at dusk and dawn, respectively, the length of time per 24-h period that plasma melatonin levels are elevated can synchronize physiologic processes to seasonal changes and, in seasonal animals, can affect season-dependent functions such as body temperature, locomotor activity, and reproductive behavior." @default.
