The antisteroid action of the pineal gland [PDF]
Annales de Biologie Animale Biochimie Biophysique, 1979 The study presents the data gathered along the years on the antisteroid action of the pineal gland. Thus, it was demonstrated that administration of pineal polypeptides to the rabbit lowers the urinary 17-KS both of testicular and adrenal origin. Conversely, pinealectomy caused an increase in the level of these steroid hormones.

Pineal gland: structural variants and their role in neurological and psychiatric disorders [PDF]
Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2022 The pineal gland is a small and poorly studied neuroendocrine gland located in the epithalamus. There is growing interest in the pineal gland due to its role in regulating human biological rhythms, which is associated with melatonin production, and its ...

Fluoride and Pineal Gland [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 The pineal gland is an endocrine gland whose main function is the biosynthesis and secretion of melatonin, a hormone responsible for regulating circadian rhythms, e.g., the sleep/wake cycle. Due to its exceptionally high vascularization and its location outside the blood–brain barrier, the pineal gland may accumulate significant amounts of calcium and ...

AAV vectors accumulate in the pineal gland after injections into the brain or spinal cord
Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021 AAV vectors are being used extensively for gene-modifying therapies for neurological disorders. Here, we report the surprising discovery that injections of different AAVs into the brain, spinal cord, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lead to robust ...

Pineal gland calcification confirmed by CT scan is associated with ischemic stroke [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2019 Background. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the most common debilitating neurological disorder worldwide. The ischemic injury causes inflammation and oxidative stress, and leads to apoptosis, necrosis and activation of autophagal pathways

The pineal gland and reproduction [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1996 The hormonal activity of the pineal gland is influenced by both the dark-light cycle and the seasonal cycle, causing it to play an important role in the neuroendocrine control of reproductive physiology. This is especially evident in seasonally breeding animals, in which reproductive function is clearly influenced by seasonal variations in the duration

Transcriptome Analysis of Pineal Glands in the Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 The pineal gland maintains the circadian rhythm in the body by secreting the hormone melatonin. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Pineal gland impairment in AD is widely observed, but no study to date has analyzed the

Pineal Gland Tumors: A Review. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel), 2021 The pineal gland is a small, pinecone-shaped endocrine gland that participates in the biological rhythm regulation of vertebrates. The recognized major product of the pineal gland is melatonin—a multifunctional endogenous indoleamine. Accumulating evidence suggests that the pineal gland is important for preserving ideal health conditions in vertebrate.
