ABSTRACT
The present study reveals that the annual Harderian gland weight cycle of P. asiatica has a direct relationship with the testicular cycle and an inverse relationship with the pineal gland cycle. Pinealectomy resulted in a significant decrease of the Harderian gland weight during the recurdescence (March-May) and active (April-June) phases. Subcutaneous implantation of melatonin (aMT) and 5-methoxytryptamine (MT) brought about a significant reduction during the recrudescence and active phases whereas subcutaneous injections of aMT, MT and 5-methoxytryptophol (ML) reduced Harderian gland weight effectively during the morning as well as in the evening hours in the active and inactive phases.
