The present experiments determined the dose-response characteristics of entrainment and phase shifting to daily and single melatonin injections in both sham-operated (SHAM) and pinealectomized (PINX) rats. The data indicated an ED\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    of 332 \u00b1 53 ng\/kg and 121 \u00b1 22 ng\/kg for SHAM and PINX rats, respectively, during the entrainment experiment. The ED\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    's for the entrainment experiment were considerably lower than doses previously employed, and much lower than doses employed in reproductive and metabolic studies in rats and hamsters. The data indicated that no partial entrainment occurred; nor were there differences in phase angle, length of activity, or period among all effective doses. Next, a single injection of 1 mg\/kg melatonin has previously been shown to cause a phase advance of approximately 45 min when administered at about circadian time (CT) 10. We found that both SHAM and PINX animals phase-advanced, in a dose-dependent manner to a single melatonin injection given at CT 10. The data for the phase-shifting experiment indicated an ED\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    of 8.19 \u00b1 0.572 \u03bcg\/kg and 2.16 \u00b1 0.326 \u03bcg\/kg for SHAM and PINX animals, respectively, with an average phase advance of 40 min for both groups. Together, the data suggest that the presence of the pineal gland is not necessary for the effects of melatonin on the rat circadian system, and that PINX animals are marginally more sensitive to melatonin than their SHAM controls.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/074873049300800306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,11]],"date-time":"2007-03-11T03:24:21Z","timestamp":1173583461000},"page":"233-245","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Pinealectomized Rats Entrain and Phase-Shift to Melatonin Injections in a Dose-Dependent Manner"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Wade S.","family":"Warren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-3258"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donald B.","family":"Hodges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-3258"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent M.","family":"Cassone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-3258"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(93)91745-E"},{"key":"atypb2","unstructured":"Armstrong, S.M.
