Melatonin administration for sleep disorders in traumatic brain injury: A review of the literature
The Journal of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2022 Melatonin is a neurohormone that acts at the suprachiasmatic nucleus to diminish the wake-promoting signal of the circadian clock and induce sleepiness. Exogenous melatonin is available as an over-the-counter supplement to induce sleepiness with 1.3% of ...

Melatonin, Melatonin Receptors and Melanophores: A Moving Story [PDF]
Pigment Cell Research, 2004 Melatonin (5‐methoxy N‐acetyltryptamine) is a hormone synthesized and released from the pineal gland at night, which acts on specific high affinity G‐protein coupled receptors to regulate various aspects of physiology and behaviour, including circadian and seasonal responses, and some retinal, cardiovascular and immunological functions.

Regulation of L1 expression and retrotransposition by melatonin and its receptor: implications for cancer risk associated with light exposure at night. [PDF]
, 2014 Expression of long interspersed element-1 (L1) is upregulated in many human malignancies. L1 can introduce genomic instability via insertional mutagenesis and DNA double-strand breaks, both of which may promote cancer. Light exposure at night, a recently
