Sympathetic nerves of the pineal gland contain both serotonin and norepinephrine. Inhibition of norepinephrine synthesis with a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, α-methyl-p-tyrosine (αMPT), causes an elevation of pineal serotonin. The administration of dopamine or norepinephrine blocks the elevation of pineal serotonin by αMPT. When sympathetic nerves to the pineal are interrupted αMPT no longer causes a rise in pineal serotonin. Tryptophan causes a marked increase in pineal serotonin; αMPT enhances and norepinephrine blocks this rise.
