Genetic variability in melatonin concentrations in ewes originates in its synthesis, not in its catabolism.

The American journal of physiology - 1 Jun 1998

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

Abstract excerpt

We investigated whether the genetic difference in plasma melatonin concentration in ewes was due to differences in the synthesis pathway from the pineal gland or in the catabolism of the hormone. Two groups of ewes [9 low (L) and 10 high (H)] were selected according to the breeding value of their...
