Melatonin regulates gene expressions through activating auxin synthesis and signaling pathways
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 BackgroundBoth melatonin and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are derived from tryptophan. And the most interesting and unsolved puzzle in melatonin research is that what is the relationship between melatonin and auxin?MethodsIn this study, we performed ...

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2006 Melatonin, originally discovered as a hormone of the pineal gland, is produced by bacteria, protozoa, plants, fungi, invertebrates, and various extrapineal sites of vertebrates, including gut, skin, Harderian gland, and leukocytes. Biosynthetic pathways seem to be identical.

S20098 Affects the Free-Running Rhythms of Body Temperature and Activity and Decreases Light-Induced Phase Delays of Circadian Rhythms of the Rat [PDF]
, 2001 Mammalian endogenous circadian rhythms are entrained to the environmental day-night cycle by light exposure. Melatonin is involved in this entrainment by signaling the day-night information to the endogenous circadian pacemaker. Furthermore, melatonin is

Melatonin Modulates the GABAergic Response in Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurons
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 In the present study, we investigated the effect of melatonin on the GABA-induced current (IGABA) and GABAergic miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) in cultured rat hippocampal neurons using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.

Melatonin distribution reveals clues to its biological significance in basal metazoans.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although nearly ubiquitous in nature, the precise biological significance of endogenous melatonin is poorly understood in phylogenetically basal taxa.
