Pineal cyst-related sleep disorders – a narrative review
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2023 The pineal gland is an endocrine gland, which is responsible for the human circadian rhythm, through the regulation of its hormone – melatonin. The most common pathology of a pineal gland is pineal cyst – its population incidence is estimated as 1-23 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Updated View on the Relation of the Pineal Gland to Autism Spectrum Disorders
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Identification of the biological features of autism is essential for designing an efficient treatment and for prevention of the disorder. Though the subject of extensive research, the neurophysiological features of autism remain unclear.

Neuroimaging in emergency: a review of possible role of pineal gland disease.
Gland surgery, 2019 The pineal gland can be involved in a variety of neoplastic and congenital masses and tumors. Pineal gland neoplasms occur more frequently in children, accounting for 3-8% of intracranial tumors in the pediatric population. Pineal cysts are small lesions
