Containing the most recent experimental data on the receptors which mediate the effects of the pineal hormone melatonin, this volume shows that melatonin receptors are more widely distributed than originally thought and exhibit wide species variations in terms of their distribution and density. In addition, multiple subtypes of melatonin receptors are identified. These findings indicate that melatonin is a ubiquitously-acting molecule which mediates a variety of physiologically important actions. 410 0$aIssn Series 517 $aMelatonin 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aBiochemistry 606 $aCardiovascular System 606 $aGastroenterology 606 $aImmunology 606 $aMolecular Biology 606 $aNeuroendocrinology 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aRespiratory System 615 14$aEndocrinology 615 14$aBiochemistry 615 24$aCardiovascular System 615 24$aGastroenterology 615 24$aImmunology 615 24$aMolecular Biology 615 24$aNeuroendocrinology 615 24$aPhysiology 615 24$aRespiratory System 676 $a612.4/9 700 $aTang$b P.L 701 $aTang$b P.
