Abstract

Abstract The formation of dansyl derivatives of amino acids, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and histamine and their separation on polyamide plates provided a reliable and sensitive method for studying circadian changes in single pineal and pituitary glands of the rat. There appears to be no cor­relation between the circadian changes in concentrations of these substances in the pineal and pituitary glands. Chronically administered D-amphetamine altered the circadian rhythms of 5-amino acids in the pituitary, including the putative transmitters taurine, glycine and glutamate; in the pineal gland only the rhythmical changes of lysine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were affected.
