| 1 | The nocturnal intra-arterial application of dDAVP mimicked the inhibitory effect of AVP on the activity of the rate-limiting enzyme for pineal melatonin synthesis, N-acetyltransferase (NAT), in both rat strains. | Melatonin | arginine vasopressin | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | These results reveal that at least two mechanisms mediate the influence of AVP on pineal melatonin synthesis. | Melatonin | arginine vasopressin | Rattus norvegicus |
| 3 | The present results support the idea of a modulatory role of AVP and its metabolites in the generation and maintenance of the circadian melatonin rhythm in mammals. | Melatonin | arginine vasopressin | Rattus norvegicus |
