The large variability in melatonin blood levels in ewes is under strong genetic influence.

The American journal of physiology - 1 Apr 1998

Zarazaga L A, Malpaux B, Bodin L, Chemineau P

Abstract excerpt

The present study was conducted to assess the degree of genetic determination of the variability in the mean nocturnal plasma concentration of melatonin in sheep. Three hundred twelve ewes born from 18 males and with known genealogy were sampled at the summer and the winter solstices. The nocturn...
