Abstract
Abstract 1. Melatonin and its formative enzyme, hydroxyindole- O -methyltransferase (HIOMT) were assayed in the mouse eye between one-day postpartum and adult. 2. Melatonin was not detectable in any stage of eye maturation, nor in the adult eye. 3. HIOMT activity peaked during the first week postpartum and elevated to adult values in the weeks following. 4. It is suggested that the pattern of HIOMT maturation found is a reflection of 5-hydroxyindole maturation in general in the eye.
