The genomic response of human granulosa cells (KGN) to melatonin and specific agonists/antagonists to the melatonin receptors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Melatonin is a known modulator of follicle development; it acts through several molecular cascades via binding to its two specific receptors MT1 and MT2. Even though it is believed that melatonin can modulate granulosa cell (GC) functions, there is still

Structural insights into melatonin receptors. [PDF]
FEBS J, 2020 The long‐anticipated high‐resolution structures of the human melatonin G protein‐coupled receptors MT1 and MT2, involved in establishing and maintaining circadian rhythm, were obtained in complex with two melatonin analogs and two approved anti‐insomnia and antidepression drugs using X‐ray free‐electron laser serial femtosecond crystallography.

Developmental effect of light deprivation on synaptic plasticity of rats' hippocampus: implications for melatonin [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2016 Objective(s): There are few reports have demonstrated the effect of a change-in-light experience on the structure and function of hippocampus. A change-in-light experience also affects the circadian pattern of melatonin secretion.
