"Corticosterone inhibits pineal NFKB leading to an enhancement of melatonin production, while tumor necrosis factor (TNF) leads to inhibition of Aa-nat transcription and the production of N-acetylserotonin in cultured glands."

"These data suggest that increases in corticosterone may inhibit the NFKB pathway in the pineal glands from Syrian hamsters.DiscussionIn this study, we showed that maintaining Syrian hamsters in a constant light, which elevated endogenous corticosterone levels, inhibited the NFKB content in the pineal gland."

reach
"We show that anincrease in endogenous corticosterone inhibits NFKB pineal activation, which suggests that the pineal gland in the Syrian hamster can also be considered as a sensor for inflammation mediators.Materials and methodsAnimalsAll experiments were conducted in accordance with the European Committee Council Directive 1986 (86/609/EEC)."
