Melatonin increases cGMP and decreases cAMP levels in rat medial basal hypothalamus in vitro
Measurement of cyclic nucleotide accumulation in rat medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) incubated in vitro with methoxyindoles indicated that melatonin (10-8 M or greater) increased significantly cGMP and depressed cAMP levels. Only the effect on MBH cAMP was shared by 5-methoxytryptophol which exhibit...
