The pineal gland is a tiny endocrine gland found in the brain. It produces and secretes the hormone melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate biological rhythms such as sleep and wake cycles. The secretion of melatonin is inhibited by light and triggered by darkness.
Melatonin secreted by the pineal gland is an important part of the bodyâs circadian timing system and can synchronise daily rhythms (see the articles on jet lag and circadian rhythm sleep disorders).he pineal gland is best known for the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is released into the blood and possibly also into the brain fluid, known as cerebrospinal fluid.
