Journal ArticleDOI
Pineal control of immune status and hematological changes in blood and bone marrow of male squirrels (Funambulus pennanti) during their reproductively active phase.
Seema Rai,Chandana Haldar +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin blocks dexamethasone-induced immunosuppression in a seasonally breeding rodent Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti.
TL;DR: In nature during reproductively inactive phase of the squirrel a high level of melatonin was noted, that is required to combat nature's stress, which might have increased the internal level of corticoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin and differential effect of L-thyroxine on immune system of Indian tropical bird Perdicula asiatica.
TL;DR: In the absence of internal physiological conditions of the birds, T(4) showed a negative effect on splenocytes proliferation in vitro when treated alone, however, melatonin maintained its lymphoproliferative effect under both conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pineal oscillator functioning in the chicken--effect of photoperiod and melatonin.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the profiles of clock gene transcription are not dependent on the duration of the light phase, while LL conditions decrease the amplitude of diurnal changes, but do not abolish them entirely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin and insulin modulates the cellular biochemistry, histoarchitecture and receptor expression during hepatic injury in diabetic rats.
Younis Ahmad Hajam,Seema Rai +1 more
TL;DR: The combined therapy of melatonin and insulin revealed significant recovery and restoration in biochemical, cellular architecture of liver cells and receptor expression pattern of MT1, MT2 and IR.
