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.

Melatonin: Pharmacology, Functions and Therapeutic Benefits
Current Neuropharmacology, 2017 : Background: Melatonin synchronizes central but also peripheral oscillators (fetal adrenal gland, pancreas, liver, kidney, heart, lung, fat, gut, etc.), allowing temporal organization of biological functions through circadian rhythms (24-hour cycles) in

Melatonin Mitigates Chilling-Induced Oxidative Stress and Photosynthesis Inhibition in Tomato Plants
Antioxidants, 2020 Melatonin has been demonstrated to play a variety of roles in plants. Of particular importance is its role as a potent antioxidative agent. In the present study, we generated melatonin-deficient tomato plants using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS ...

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.

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 ...

Antioxidants, 2022 Gibberellic acid (GA) was recently shown to induce melatonin synthesis in rice. Here, we examined whether brassinosteroids (BRs) also induce melatonin synthesis because BRs and GA show redundancy in many functions. Among several plant hormones, exogenous

Aging, Melatonin, and the Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Networks
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Aging and various age-related diseases are associated with reductions in melatonin secretion, proinflammatory changes in the immune system, a deteriorating circadian system, and reductions in sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) activity.

Importance of Melatonin in Assisted Reproductive Technology and Ovarian Aging
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Melatonin is probably produced in all cells but is only secreted by the pineal gland. The pineal secretion of melatonin is determined by the light–dark cycle, and it is only released at night.
