Assessment of melatonin-alpha adrenergic receptor complexes by molecular docking analysis
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2022 The pineal melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a molecule associated in a way or another with probably all physiological systems, aiming to fulfil its functional integrative roles in central nervous system activity, sleep and wakefulness cycles ...

Preliminary Evaluation of Human Gingiva as an Extrapineal Site of Melatonin Biosynthesis in States of Periodontal Health and Disease [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Introduction: Melatonin is a pineal gland hormone that plays an important role in periodontal homeostasis. Extra pineal melatonin production has been found to occur in tissues like the ovaries, retina and gastrointestinal tract.

Modulation of human ovarian function by melatonin
Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, 2020 Melatonin, a hormone which is primarily released by the pineal gland, has a wide range of actions in the female reproductive tract. While the melatonin receptor subtype, MT3, has been identified in amphibian animals and birds, in humans and other mammals,

Modeling the Heterodimer Interfaces of Melatonin Receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Melatonin receptors are Class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that regulate a plethora of physiological activities in response to the rhythmic secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland.

Melatonin Signaling Controls the Daily Rhythm in Blood Glucose Levels Independent of Peripheral Clocks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Melatonin is rhythmically secreted by both the pineal gland and retina in a circadian fashion, with its peak synthesis occurring during the night. Once synthesized, melatonin exerts its effects by binding to two specific G-protein coupled receptors ...
