By Yolanda Smith, BPharm. Thymine, which is often abbreviated to T or Thy, can also be referred to as 5-methyluracil. It is one of the pyrimidine bases found in the nucleic acid of DNA, along with adenine, guanine and cytosine (A, G and C).These bases are the building blocks of DNA and life form on earth.t is one of the pyrimidine bases found in the nucleic acid of DNA, along with adenine, guanine and cytosine (A, G and C).

In humans, the pineal gland controls our biorhythms and works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland to control our thirst, hunger, sexual desire and biological clock that is associated with the aging process.he high melatonin levels in children are believed to inhibit their sexual development until melatonin levels decrease when puberty begins. Melatonin is created when the amino acid tryptophan is converted into the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is in turn synthesized into melatonin.
Pineal Gland: The pineal gland is a pine cone shaped gland of the endocrine system. A structure of the diencephalon of the brain, the pineal gland produces several important hormones including melatonin.Melatonin influences sexual development and sleep-wake cycles.The pineal gland is composed of cells called pinealocytes and cells of the nervous system called glial cells.The pineal gland connects the endocrine system with the nervous system in that it converts nerve signals from the sympathetic system of the peripheral nervous system into hormone signals.Function:he pineal gland is composed of cells called pinealocytes and cells of the nervous system called glial cells.
