N-acetyltransferase and melatonin levels in the optic lobe of giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii de man

1. 1. N-Acetyltransferase (NAT), and melatonin were determined at 3-hour intervals in the optic lobe of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man. 2. 2. A relatively high activity of NAT, compared to that in rat pineal, was found in the tissue. The enzyme did not show a significan...

A relatively high activity of NAT, compared to that in rat pineal, was found in the tissue. The enzyme did not show a significant diurnal rhythm although a slight suppressive level was detected at night. 3. 3. Melatonin level varied considerably and showed a peak during the day (1500 hr) and a nadir during the night (2400 hr). 4. 4. The results suggest that the optic lobe has certain biochemical activities similar to those found in pineal glands of vertebrates. © 1992. 2018-08-10T08:44:12Z 2018-08-10T08:44:12Z 1992-01-01 Article Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology -- Part A: Physiology.
