The existence of a melatonin rhythm in the domestic pig with respect to the light intensity has been discussed controversally. These controversial results are caused in part by inappropriate RIA methods. Until now, there are no published results describing non-immunological identification of melatonin in the domestic pig. Therefore, the main-objective of this study was to establish a HPLC method for the determination of melatonin in plasma and saliva samples of domestic pigs and to examine the correlation of the melatonin concentration of these two specimens. A further aim of this study was the possible replacement of blood sampling which requires the restraint of the animal by minimally invasive saliva sampling. The study was conducted on ...
