摘要：

The influence of 50% decrease and increase of the earth magnetic field on the activity of the enzymes hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) and N-acetyl-serotonintransferase (NAT) was proven in vivo and in vitro. NAT and HIOMT catalyze melatonin biosynthesis in the pineal gland and in the retina. The results support the hypothesis of Leask and Schulten, that molecular magnetic field sensitivity is the basis of an animals'' magnetic field detection.
