Abstract
Physiological amounts of estradiol (1 nM) significantly increased serotonin, conversion to melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol by rat pineal glands in organ culture whereas larger, pharmacological, doses (i.e. 1000 nM) impaired it significantly. The stimulatory but not the inhibitory effect of estradiol was blocked by the simultaneous addition of puromycin in the culture medium.
