Abstract
The study explores the effect of pineal peptide hormones (epitalamin) on the pituitarythyroid system in cold exposure. It is shown that pineal hormones block hyperreactivity of the thyroid to acute cold stress, while in chronic cooling they modulate the adaptive reaction of the thyroid gland to cold. Thus, pineal peptides can modulate the thyroid reaction to cooling. Epitalamin modulates the intensity of peripheral deiodination of thyroxine.
