Possible impact of pineal indoles (Melatonin-M; Methoxytryptophol-ML; Methoxytryptamine-MT) and pCPA on carbohydrate metabolism in terms of hepatic and muscle glycogen contents, hepatic phosphorylase and G-6-Pase on blood glucose level and pancreatic islet functions have been studied in the feral pigeons, Columba livia during the recrudescent phase.
