  • Title: Monoamine oxidase activity of the hypothalamus and pituitary: alterations after pinealectomy, changes in photoperiod, or additions of melatonin in vitro.
    Author: Urry RL, Ellis LC.
    Journal: Experientia; 1975 Aug 15; 31(8):891-2. PubMed ID: 1157847.
    Abstract:
    Rat pituitary MAO activity was reduced by constant darkness and by additions of melatonin in vitro and was increased by constant light and by pinealectomy. Hypothalamic MAO activity followed the same pattern but was less dramatically affected. The data suggest that MAO may be a target enzyme for melatonin.
