Determination of N-acetylserotonin and Melatonin Activities in the Pineal Gland, Retina, Harderian Gland, Brain and Serum of Rats and Chickens
Abstract
An N-acetylserotonin/melatonin radioimmunoassay (NAS/Mel RIA) and a Mel RIA were developed to measure NAS and Mel contents in tissues of rats and chickens.
