The Pineal Gland Is Required for Optimal Nighttime Immunity to Bacterial Infection in Larval Zebrafish. [PDF]
J Pineal ResABSTRACT The immune response to bacterial infection demonstrates circadian rhythmicity, with heightened antibacterial immunity often observed during the daytime. This circadian‐gated immune response is believed to have evolved to synchronize peak antibacterial immunity with the increased threat of infection when active.

Specific Knockdown of Gene Expression in the Mature Rat Pineal Gland: The Cone-Rod Homeodomain Transcription Factor Regulates Melatonin Synthesis In Vivo. [PDF]
J Pineal ResABSTRACT Melatonin is synthesised from tryptophan by the sequential action of enzymes that are highly expressed in the pineal gland. Homeobox gene‐encoded transcription factors typically control organ development; however, a set of homeobox genes is strongly expressed in the adult pineal gland.

Comparative functional study of the development of the photoreceptive organs in "Danio rerio" and "Scophthalmus maximus", two phylogenetically distant teleost fish species [PDF]
, 2006 In ectothermic vertebrates, the retina and the pineal gland are the two main photoreceptive organs. Whereas the first one is involved in visual information, the second one acts as a detector of day length and synchronizer of the different functions in ...
