Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Pinealectomy on sexually mature blinded rats stimulates leucine-3H incorporation into the supraoptic, paraventricular, ventromedial, and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus.

  2. 2.

    Melatonin in a dose of 10μg reduces the incorporation of leucine-3H into these nuclei of pinealectomized rats down to the level obtaining after the mock operation.
