Journal ArticleDOI

The chronobiotic properties of melatonin.

TL;DR: The suprachiasmatic nuclei appear to be an important site for the entrainment effect of Mel and the presence of Mel receptors appears to be a prerequisite, however, the pharmacological dose of Mel needed to entrain circadian rhythms means that very probably other sites and mechanisms also play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin in the multi-oscillatory mammalian circadian world.

TL;DR: Melatonin, one of the endocrine output signals of the clock, provides the organism with circadian information and can be considered as an endogenous synchronizer, able to stabilize and reinforce circadian rhythms and to maintain their mutual phase‐relationship at the different levels of the circadian network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opposite actions of hypothalamic vasopressin on circadian corticosterone rhythm in nocturnal versus diurnal species.

TL;DR: The results show that with regard to the circadian control of the corticosterone rhythm in diurnal and nocturnal rodents, temporal information is carried along the same pathway from the SCN to its target areas, but the response of the target area may be quite different.
Journal ArticleDOI

In the rat, exogenous melatonin increases the amplitude of pineal melatonin secretion by a direct action on the circadian clock.

TL;DR: The SCN are the target site for the effect of exogenous melatonin on the amplitude of the endogenous melatonin rhythm, with a similar window of sensitivity as its phase‐shifting effect on the pacemaker.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interindividual differences in the pattern of melatonin secretion of the Wistar rat.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrated that the use of the microdialysis technique is of interest in studies on the circadian system, and concluded that the melatonin rhythm is a very stable circadian marker.
