Photoperiod Modulates the Inhibitory Effect of In Vitro Melatonin on Lymphocyte Proliferation in Female Siberian Hamsters

In Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus), short days suppress reproductive function and lymphocyte proliferation. To determine whether melatonin influences cell-mediated immunity through a direct action on lymphocyte proliferation, in vitro responsiveness to mitogens and melatonin was assessed in sy...
