Abstract
⺠A low dose of Cd suppresses 24-h rhythms in plasma prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone, thyrotropin, and corticosterone. ⺠Cd increases pituitary expression of PRL and lipid peroxidation during photophase. ⺠Cd disrupts 24-h rhythms in pituitary redox enzyme and clock gene expression. ⺠Melatonin counteracts most effects of Cd as an endocrine disruptor.
