Pineal melatonin synthesis is enhanced by the activation of adrenergic and opioid receptors. The precise mechanism of how signal transduction is affected by the activation of these receptors, leading to an increase in melatonin synthesis, is not clear. An attempt has been made to investigate the eff...
