Changes in gamma-aminobutyric acid high affinity binding to cerebral cortex membranes after pinealectomy or melatonin administration to rats1
In order to assess the effect of pinealectomy (Px) on the diurnal rhythmicity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) high affinity binding to cerebral cortex membranes, groups of intact. Px or sham Px rats (subjected to surgery 15 days earlier) were killed at six different time intervals during the 24-ho...
