Pituitary serotonin content: effects of melatonin or deprivation of water
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 17, 1970
Abstract:
Relatively high concentrations of serotonin are found in the three regions of the rat pituitary gland. Administration of melatonin causes a selective increase in the serotonin concentration of the pars intermedia; deprivation of water for 5 days causes a selective decrease in the serotonin concentrations of the neural lobe and pars distalis.
