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

Biosynthesis and biological action of pineal allopregnanolone
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 The pineal gland transduces photoperiodic changes to the neuroendocrine system by rhythmic secretion of melatonin. We recently provided new evidence that the pineal gland is a major neurosteroidogenic organ and actively produces a variety of ...

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.

Profiling Temporal Changes of the Pineal Transcriptomes at Single Cell Level Upon Neonatal HIBD
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) often results in various neurological deficits. Among them, a common, yet often neglected, symptom is circadian rhythm disorders. Previous studies revealed that the occurrence of cysts in the pineal gland, an

Macro-microscopical aspects of the buffalo (Bubalus bubalis Linnaeus, 1758) pineal gland [PDF]
Biotemas, 2009 Gross and microscopical aspects of the buffalo pineal gland were described in seasonal parturition animals, since this gland is responsible for melatonin secretion which acts upon the hypothalamus-hypophysis reproductive axis feedback system.

Melatonin Levels in 89 Individuals With Smith Magenis Syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In patients with Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), an inverted circadian rhythm of melatonin (MT) contributes to the sleep disturbance. Standard treatment of sleep disturbance with MT often leads to extremely high daytime MT levels, resulting in even more sleep disorders. We therefore retrospectively evaluated the MT data of 89 SMS patients.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2 (U2AF2) is an essential pre‐mRNA splicing factor involved in the early stages of pre‐mRNA splicing. To date, multiple individuals have been reported with predominantly heterozygous missense variants presenting intellectual disability, speech and motor delays, seizures, hypotonia, and thin or hypoplastic ...
