| Abstract
|
:
|
In the last two decades, our understanding of the organization of the pineal gland and the functional significance of its major secretory product, melatonin, has considerably increased. While there have been many volumes written and edited on melatonin and its clinical usage, it is unusual to see one with such interdisciplinary breadth, contributions ranging from the very basic concepts of melatonin action at a cellular level to immediate applications in clinical medicine. This book represents an integration of clinical experiences and research of the contributors. Indeed the book was written.
