"The pineal gland produces melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a derivative of serotonin (O-methylated and N-acetylated) ¹³, which affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions. It is also thought to have a reproductive function and has been associated with the onset of puberty ⁷. In truth, there are several "organs" responsible for the synthesis of melatonin; among these we recall: the retina, the Harder glands and the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Megakaryocytes and platelets also contribute to its synthesis ^14,15. Unlike much of the rest of the brain, the pineal gland is not isolated from the body by the blood-brain barrier."
