title: The effect of melatonin on vasopressin release under stress conditions in pinealectomized male rats.
abstract: The findings here reported showed that the response of vasopressinergic neurons to immobilization stress is augmented by melatonin. The effectiveness of melatonin in functional modification of these neurons' activity under conditions of stress changes after pineal removal.
