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.

New perspectives on the role of melatonin in human sleep, circadian rhythms and their regulation
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2018 In mammals, a central circadian clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, tunes the innate circadian physiological rhythms to the ambient 24 h light–dark cycle to invigorate and optimize the internal temporal order.

Analysis of melatonin content and gene expression in Chinese cherry leaves [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 To investigate the accumulation characteristics and mechanism of melatonin in cherry leaves of different leaf ages, the melatonin content and the expression of synthetic genes in cherry leaves of different leaf ages were measured. The results showed that
