Melatonin localization in the eyes of larval Xenopus

Melatonin localization in the eyes of larval Xenopus

1. 1. The larvae of Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed toad, have been assayed for melatonin levels in the lateral eyes, the whole larva and the larva minus eyes. 2. 2. Lateral eyes were found to contain somewhere between 75 to 90 per cent of the total larval melatonin.
