Pineal melatonin content was examined under four different photoperiods (10L:14D, 12L:12D, 14L:10D, and 16L:8D) in adult female rice rats (Experiment 1). Pineal melatonin was basal during the light and increased beginning 1 hr after lights off. Within 2 hr after lights off, melatonin increased to levels that were maintained throughout the dark period. In all but one photoperiod (10L:14D), melatonin remained elevated prior to light onset and decreased markedly within one hour after lights on. In addition, the duration of pineal melatonin was inversely related to the length of the photoperiod. In Experiment 2, the time course of pineal melatonin content on 16L:8D was examined every 20 min during the first hour after lights off and the first hour after lights on. Melatonin content increased gradually during the first hour and decreased markedly within 20 min after lights on. These data show that pineal melatonin in female rice rats is regulated by photoperiod.
