Intravenous infusion of angiotensin II in quasi-physiological concentrations for two hours induced an increase in serotonin and N-acetyltransferase content of pineal gland in dogs and rats. Results are interpreted with regard to the concept of the activating role of the pineal renin-angiotensin system on the serotonin and melatonin biosynthesis.
