Evidences associating pineal gland function with alterations in pigmentation [PDF]
In the spring of 1915 we undertook to establish the influence of pineal gland substances upon growth and differentiation processes in tadpoles. The tad.poles employed were hatched in the laboratory and immediately placed upon a diet of pineal gland.

AAV vectors accumulate in the pineal gland after injections into the brain or spinal cord [PDF]
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 ...

The antisteroid action of the pineal gland [PDF]
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.

Morphology of the Human Pineal Gland Studied by Freeze-Fracturing in Scanning Electron Microscopy [PDF]
The human pineal gland is the largest producer of the hormone melatonin. Pineal acervuli (brain sand), calcified concretions in the pineal gland, have long been studied because of their association with ageing, melatonin production, and neurological ...

Is there any relationship between autism and pineal gland volume? [PDF]
Purpose: Abnormalities in melatonin physiology and circadian rhythm are detected in patients with autism. Melatonin is produced predominantly in the pineal gland and the amount of melatonin released is proportional to the pineal gland volume.

Retinoic Acid Signalling in the Pineal Gland Is Conserved across Mammalian Species and Its Transcriptional Activity Is Inhibited by Melatonin [PDF]
The pineal gland is integral to the circadian timing system due to its role in nightly melatonin production. Retinoic acid (RA) is a potent regulator of gene transcription and has previously been found to exhibit diurnal changes in synthesis and ...

Pineal gland cyst and ADHD in a juvenile patient: a case report [PDF]
Introduction The role of the pineal gland in psychiatric disorders is poorly investigated. There are studies, primarily on adult patients, that indicate a higher presence of pineal gland abnormalities in patients suffering from depression, schizophrenia

Transcriptome and DNA methylation analysis of the goat pineal gland during puberty [PDF]
Previous studies have confirmed that methylation regulates gene transcription in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis during puberty initiation, but little is known about the regulation of DNA methylation on gene expression in the pineal gland.

TUMORS OF THE PINEAL GLAND [PDF]
In this paper two cases of tumor of the pineal gland are reported, and an endeavor has been made to summarize all such cases in the literature in order to determine the most frequent signs and symptoms. The most comprehensive summaries at present in the literature are those of Bailey and Jelliffe, in 1911, who reviewed fifty-nine cases, and of Seigneur,
