Effects of light on melatonin and two enzymes leading to its production in albino (s(al-c)) and nonalbino chickens.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 Nov 1992

Silversides F G, Voisin P, Ravault J P, Mérat P

Abstract excerpt

A gene for sex-linked imperfect albinism in the chicken (s(al)) has been associated with increased egg production with an implication that environmental light may play a role. In this study, levels of melatonin and hydroxyindole O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) and N-acetyltransferase (NAT), two enzymes leading to melatonin production, were studied in young albino and nonalbino chickens in relation to the daily light...
