“In the median eminence of intact hamsters, the accumulation of DA after pargyline was reduced to 22% of controls by melatonin injections; in ovariectomized hamsters, the accumulation of DA was reduced to 9% of controls by melatonin injections.”
“The accumulation of norepinephrine after pargyline was significantly reduced by melatonin administration only in ovariectomized hamsters.”
“The monoamine oxidase inhibitor pargyline (100 μM) caused a sixfold increase in melatonin release, and the serotonin precursor 5‐hydroxy‐L‐tryptophan (100 μM) caused a 70‐fold increase.”
“Two commonly used monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tranylcypromine and pargyline , produced dose-dependent decreases in the activity of serotonin-containing neurons in the dorsal raphe in awake, freely-moving cats.”
