COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMICAL OBSERVATIONS ON RAT PINEAL GLAND AND SERUM
1Department of Veterinary Physiology,
College of Veterinary Science and A.H., NDUAT, Kumarganj, Faizabad (UP) - 224 229, India
ABSTRACT
The comparative biochemistry of the pineal gland and the serum in 24 rats is reported in
the present study. Glucose, urea, alkaline and acid phosphatases, aspartate and alanine
aminotransferases, calcium and phosphorous values were estimated and these values were
represented in terms of milligrams of protein. Glucose and urea values were about three and
forty six times higher in the pineal tissue than in serum. The activity of phosphatases,
aminotransferases were also higher in the pineal. The higher value of glucose and alkaline
phosphatase activity is indicative high level of energy metabolism going on in the pinealocytes.
The calcium: phosphorus ratio in the pinel'll gland and serum were 1.68:1.00 and 1.00:1.01
respectively. The present study indicates that the pineal gland represents a glandular tissue
having high metabolism and cannot be considered as brain sand or vestige.
