Gene expression of the key enzymes of melatonin synthesis in extrapineal tissues of the rat

Besides the pineal gland, melatonin is reported to be produced in a number of extrapineal sites, where it could act as an intracellular mediator or paracrine signal in addition to its endocrine effects. In view of the suggested immunoregulatory role of melatonin, we compared lymphoid organs and seve...
