Sheep as a mammalian model of genetic variability in melatonin.

Reproduction (Cambridge, England). Supplement - 1 Jan 2002

Chemineau P, Daveau A, Bodin L, Zarazaga L, Gomez-Brunet A, Malpaux B

Abstract excerpt

Large inter-individual variability in plasma melatonin concentration at night is a common mammalian trait. In sheep, it varies from < 50 pg ml(-1) to > 800 pg ml(-1) but is very consistent within individuals. This inter-individual variability is under strong genetic control, which depends on mela...
