Abstract
Glutaurine (gamma-L-glutamyl-taurine), the recently discovered hormone of the parathyroid enhances the aggregation and subsequent degeneration of mitochondria in the pinealocyte processes of the rat pineal gland. It also stimulates autophagy, probably through its general lysosome activating effect.
