Urban-like night illumination reduces melatonin release in European blackbirds (Turdus merula): implications of city life for biological time-keeping of songbirds [PDF]
, 2013 <p>Introduction: Artificial light-at-night is known to affect a broad array of behaviours and physiological processes. In urbanized bird species, light-at-night advances important biological rhythms such as daily cycles of activity/rest and timing

The role of melatonin in diabetes: therapeutic implications
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015 Melatonin referred as the hormone of darkness is mainly secreted by pineal gland, its levels being elevated during night and low during the day. The effects of melatonin on insulin secretion are mediated through the melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2).

Rythme nycthéméral de la sécrétion de mélatonine chez le dromadaire (Camelus dromedarius) [PDF]
, 1997 La mélatonine, une hormone secrétée par la glande pinéale, a été dosée sur trois chamelles vivant dans le Sud de la France. Comme pour les autres espèces domestiques, les résultats montrent qu'il existe un rythme nycthéméral de la sécrétion de cette ...

Photoperiodic influences on ultradian rhythms of male Siberian hamsters. [PDF]
, 2012 Seasonal changes in mammalian physiology and behavior are proximately controlled by the annual variation in day length. Long summer and short winter day lengths markedly alter the amplitude of endogenous circadian rhythms and may affect ultradian ...
