Transcriptome Analysis of Pineal Glands in the Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
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

CALCIFICATION IN THE PINEAL GLAND [PDF]
Pathologic as well as roentgenologic literature on calcification of the pineal gland is very scarce. Schueller,1apparently, was the first to demonstrate concretions in the gland radiographically, and the only one to verify his roentgen-ray findings by necropsy.

PSMA PET/CT as a predictive tool for sub-regional importance estimates in the parotid gland [PDF]
Xerostomia and radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction remain a common side effect for head-and-neck radiotherapy patients, and attempts have been made to quantify the heterogeneous dose response within parotid glands. Here several models of parotid gland subregional importance are compared with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron ...

Pineal Gland Metastasis From Poorly Differentiated Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin
Pineal metastasis is an exceedingly rare finding in patients with systemic malignancies. Such lesions are typically the manifestation of a primary lung cancer; nonetheless, a variety of malignancies have been reported to disseminate to the pineal gland ...

Genetically Blocking the Zebrafish Pineal Clock Affects Circadian Behavior. [PDF]
The master circadian clock in fish has been considered to reside in the pineal gland. This dogma is challenged, however, by the finding that most zebrafish tissues contain molecular clocks that are directly reset by light.

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF PINEAL GLAND TUMOR IN WHITE RAT
Tumors of pineal gland are very rare brain lesion in the rats and other species like humans. Neoplasms of pineal gland should be included in the possible differential diagnosis list for brain tumor, This type happened when the tumor is sited in the ...

Melatonin synthesis in the human pineal gland [PDF]
Poster presentation: The mammalian pineal organ is a peripheral oscillator, depending on afferent information from the so-called master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus.

MRI-based assessment of the pineal gland in a large population of children aged 0-5 years and comparison with pineoblastoma: part I, the solid gland. [PDF]
Differentiation between normal solid (non-cystic) pineal glands and pineal pathologies on brain MRI is difficult. The aim of this study was to assess the size of the solid pineal gland in children (0-5 years) and compare the findings with published ...

To what extent does photoperiod affect cattle reproduction? Clinical perspectives of melatonin administration [PDF]
The seasonality of reproduction in most mammals is dictated by photoperiod, temperature and nutrition. Melatonin, mainly synthesized in the pineal gland, is generally accepted as the active mediator of photoperiod responses including reproduction.
