Seasonal changes in brain melatonin concentration in the three-spined stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus): towards an endocrine calendar

Pineal organ and its hormone melatonin ( N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is likely involved in timing and synchronisation of many internal processes, such as reproduction, with annual changes in environmental cues, i.e., photoperiod and water temperature. The seasonal changes in melatonin profile in s...
