Regulation of the Rhythmic Melatonin Secretion by Fish Pineal Photoreceptor Cells

  • Chapter
Rhythms in Fishes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 236))

Abstract

Many, if not most, biochemical, physiological and behavioural events are rhythmic. Rhythms with a periodicity of 24 h (daily) or one year (annual) represent major components in the adaptation of organisms to their environment. Environmental factors, such as light and temperature, play an important role in the synchronization of these rhythms. In vertebrates, synchronization is mediated through the circadian system, which is composed of sensors and circadian oscillators. These include the pineal organ, the lateral eyes and the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus.
