Secretion of melatonin : This gland secretes the hormone melatonin which regulates the circadian rhythm of the body and also certain reproductive hormones. The secretion of this hormone depends upon the amount of light a person is exposed to. This hormone is produced in large amounts when it is dark. The presence of light inhibits the secretion of melatonin which controls our circadian rhythms.
Cardiovascular Health : The melaton in secretion has a positive impact on the heart and blood pressure. It may also be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Reproduction : Melatonin inhibits the secretion of reproductive hormones from the anterior pituitary, which are responsible for the development and functioning of reproductive organs.
