Effect of melatonin on age induced changes in daily serotonin rhythms in suprachiasmatic nucleus of male Wistar rat.
We report here that in 15 days, 1 and 2 months old rat SCN the mean serotonin level is low and daily serotonin rhythm is just beginning; at 3, 4 and 6 months, serotonin levels and rhythms are robust and at 9, 12, 18 and 24 months mean serotonin levels are low again and rhythm is becoming more disrupted. Previous studies have shown the 5-HT rhythmicity was established by 3 month in rat brain but d
