TL;DR: It may be suggested that a physiological cross talk exist between Mel and GR which is of high adaptive significance in wild animals for balancing the immunity during ecologically stressful conditions.

TL;DR: This complete study of short-term pinealectomy effects on the annual testicular cycle of a tropical bird for the first time reflects both the essentialness of the pineal gland to the maintenance of proper testicular cyclicity under natural environment conditions and the progonadotropic nature of the Pineal gland.

TL;DR: Melatonin administration prior to X-ray irradiation prevented radiation-induced oxidative damage during the reproductively active phase of the seasonally breeding rodent suggesting a high protective role of melatonin following X-Ray irradiation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that during the reproductively active period of male Indian palm squirrels the lymphoid organs were sensitive to melatonin; hence, the exogenous melatonin treatment had an immuno-enhancing effect.

TL;DR: Differential hormonal level of melatonin and gonadal hormones during reproductively active and inactive phase and its direct relation with melatonin receptor expression dynamics in lymphoid organs could be responsible for seasonal adjustment of immunity and reproduction.
