We examined cerebral arteriolar structure and autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in control (n = 8), sham-operated (n = 8), pinealectomized (n = 10), and pinealectomized plus melatonin-treated (0.51 +/- 0.01 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) in drinking water, n = 9) young Wistar rats. The lower limit of CBF autoregulation (LLCBF) was determined by measurement of CBF (in arbitrary units, laser Dop...
