Identification of Melatonin-Regulated Genes in the Ovine Pituitary Pars Tuberalis, a Target Site for Seasonal Hormone Control [PDF]

, 2008
The pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary gland expresses a high density of melatonin (MEL) receptors and is believed to regulate seasonal physiology by decoding changes in nocturnal melatonin secretion.

Chemical Metabolomics: Chemical Biology Tools for Advanced Metabolism Investigations

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The human metabolism has been investigated for several millennia. The metabolome is known for a high complexity due to a large number of different metabolites that are present at different concentrations. Metabolomics has been developed as a field to investigate the entire human metabolome and to elucidate disease development mechanisms.

Cardiovascular Benefits of Dietary Melatonin: A Myth or a Reality?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The role of the diet as well as the impact of the dietary habits on human health and disease is well established. Apart from its sleep regulatory effect, the indoleamine melatonin is a well-established antioxidant molecule with multiple health benefits ...

When the sun never sets: diverse activity rhythms under continuous daylight in free-living arctic-breeding birds [PDF]

, 2013
Circadian clocks are centrally involved in the regulation of daily behavioural and physiological processes. These clocks are synchronized to the 24-hour day by external cues (Zeitgeber), the most important of which is the light-dark cycle.

Circadian and Metabolic Effects of Light: Implications in Weight Homeostasis and Health [PDF]

, 2017
Daily interactions between the hypothalamic circadian clock at the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and peripheral circadian oscillators regulate physiology and metabolism to set temporal variations in homeostatic regulation.

Melatonin reduces intramuscular fat deposition by promoting lipolysis and increasing mitochondrial function

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
In obesity and diabetes, intramuscular fat (IMF) content correlates markedly with insulin sensitivity, which makes IMF manipulation an area of therapeutic interest.

A comparison of melatonin and α-lipoic acid in the induction of antioxidant defences in L6 rat skeletal muscle cells. [PDF]

, 2015
Aging is characterized by a progressive deterioration in physiological functions and metabolic processes. The loss of cells during aging in vital tissues and organs is related to several factors including oxidative stress and inflammation.
