Expression of melatonin receptors in trigeminal and sphenopalatine ganglia: potential targets for primary headache disorders [PDF]

The Journal of Headache and Pain
Background Primary headache disorders such as migraine and cluster headache exhibit circadian and circannual variations in attack onset. Melatonin plays a central role in regulating biological rhythms and likely influences the timing of headache attacks.

Melatonin Protects Intact Rat Ovarian Transplantation via the MT1/Nrf2/ARE Pathway [PDF]

Cells
Cryopreservation and transplantation of intact ovaries offer a promising approach to fertility restoration in cancer patients. However, ischemia–reperfusion injury following transplantation significantly impairs graft function.

Regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and function by melatonin type 1 receptor in parkinson’s disease [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by dopaminergic neuron loss and Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra. Abnormal mitochondrial function and accumulated α-synuclein (α-syn) are key etiological factors of PD.

The ubiquitin-specific protease 8 antagonizes melatonin-induced endocytic degradation of MT1 receptor to promote lung adenocarcinoma growth

Journal of Advanced Research, 2022
Introduction: The human genome encodes two melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) that relay melatonin signals to cellular interior. Accumulating evidence has linked melatonin to multiple health benefits, among which its anticancer effects have become well ...

Melatonin Reverses the Warburg-Type Metabolism and Reduces Mitochondrial Membrane Potential of Ovarian Cancer Cells Independent of MT1 Receptor Activation

Molecules, 2022
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, and melatonin has shown various antitumor properties. Herein, we investigated the influence of melatonin therapy on energy metabolism and mitochondrial integrity in SKOV-3 cells and tested ...

Melatonin abolished proinflammatory factor expression and antagonized osteoarthritis progression in vivo

Cell Death and Disease, 2022
Progressive structural changes in osteoarthritis (OA) involve synovial inflammation and angiogenesis, as well as activation of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-8, and the angiogenic factor vascular ...

Activation of MT1/MT2 to Protect Testes and Leydig Cells against Cisplatin-Induced Oxidative Stress through the SIRT1/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway

Cells, 2022
There is growing concern that chemotherapy drugs can damage Leydig cells and inhibit the production of testosterone. Increasing evidence shows that melatonin benefits the reproductive process. This study mainly explores the protective effect and possible
