Fluoride and Pineal Gland [PDF]
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.

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.

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.

Serotonin modulates melatonin synthesis as an autocrine neurotransmitter in the pineal gland. [PDF]
Significance The pineal gland secretes melatonin at night mainly driven by adrenergic sympathetic inputs. Many other neurotransmitters are found in the pineal gland, suggesting potential fine modulation of melatonin release.

Pineal gland: structural variants and their role in neurological and psychiatric disorders [PDF]
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 ...

Abstract Nowadays, more and more attention has been focused on the risk of the neurotoxic action of cadmium (Cd) under environmental exposure. Due to the growing incidence of nervous system diseases, including neurodegenerative changes, and suggested involvement of Cd in their aetiopathogenesis, this review aimed to discuss critically this element ...

Pineal gland calcification confirmed by CT scan is associated with ischemic stroke [PDF]
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]
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
