Abstract:
SD male rats aged 21 days were continuously exposed to light for 30 days in order to inhibit secretion of melatonin (MT). Changes in serum MT, testosterone, corticosterone, thyroid hormones (T_ 3 , T_ 4 ), adrenalin and noradrenalin were determined. The results showed that MT inhibited the functions of gonad, adrenal and sympathetic nerve, but increased the function of thyroid in pre-puberty rats.
