Nocturnal Light Pollution Synergistically Impairs Glucose Metabolism With Age and Weight in Monkeys
Journal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Over the past decades, the global prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) has been increasing at an epidemic rate, yet the exact cause remains unknown. It is widely accepted that glucose metabolism can be impaired by circadian rhythms and sleep disturbances.

P76 | PERICAPILLARY SPACES IN THE SHEEP PINEAL GLAND – 2D AND 3D ANALYSIS
European Journal of HistochemistryThe structural organization of pericapillary spaces in the mammalian pineal gland varies significantly among species. In rats - the most widely used in pineal research - fenestrated capillaries are surrounded by wide pericapillary spaces rich in ...

COSMOS 2044. Experiment K-7-19. Pineal physiology in microgravity: Relation to rat gonadal function [PDF]
It is now known that the pineal organ can interact with many endocrine and nonendocrine tissues in a regulatory fashion. Given its key role in the regulation of melatonin synthesis, its high concentration, and that its levels may persist longer than the ...

THE ANATOMICAL RELATIONSHIPS, ULTRASTRUCTURE, AND FUNCTION OF THE PINEAL GLAND IN SOME COMMON LABORATORY RODENTS [PDF]
, 1972 The pineal complex of rodents is made up of a pineal organ which developmentally always originates from the area between the habenular and posterior commissure and a pineal sac which is continuous with the choroid plexus of the third ventricle.

Homeobox Genes and Melatonin Synthesis: Regulatory Roles of the Cone-Rod Homeobox Transcription Factor in the Rodent Pineal Gland [PDF]
, 2014 Nocturnal synthesis of melatonin in the pineal gland is controlled by a circadian rhythm in arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) enzyme activity. In the rodent, Aanat gene expression displays a marked circadian rhythm; release of norepinephrine in ...
