ULTRASTRUCTURE OF PINEAL GLAND TUMOR IN WHITE RAT
The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science, 2021 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 ...

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]
, 2016 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 ...

Genetically Blocking the Zebrafish Pineal Clock Affects Circadian Behavior. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 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.

Content of microelements in the rat pineal gland at different ages and the effects of selenium supplementation [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2006 The mammalian pineal gland regulates a number of important physiological processes. In this paper we report changes in the content of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and selenium (Se) in the male rat pineal glands at 4, 5, 8, and 12 months of age. The

The morphological and functional characteristics of the pineal gland
Medicine and Pharmacy Reports, 2019 Introduction The pineal gland is a photo-neuro-endocrine organ situated inside the brain, that secretes serotonin, melatonin and N,N-dymethyltriptamine.

Glia-pinealocyte network: the paracrine modulation of melatonin synthesis by tumor necrosis factor (TNF). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The pineal gland, a circumventricular organ, plays an integrative role in defense responses. The injury-induced suppression of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, which is triggered by darkness, allows the mounting of innate immune responses.

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 ...

p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Regulates Oscillation of Chick Pineal Circadian Clock [PDF]
, 2003 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, and in some cases these kinases serve for closely related cellular functions within a cell. In a wide range of animal clock structures,
