Role of melatonin receptors in the effect of estrogen on brain edema, intracranial pressure and expression of aquaporin 4 after traumatic brain injury [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2018
Objective(s): Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and disability in modern societies. The role of steroids and melatonin is recognized as a neuroprotective factor in traumatic injuries.

Melatonin in Th17/Treg differentiation: the contribution of the hormone's own production by T lymphocytes

Медицинская иммунология, 2023
The hormone melatonin is involved in regulation of functioning of almost all organs and systems of the organism. In the immune system, T lymphocytes are an important target of melatonin: they express specific melatonin receptors with different affinities

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.

Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in hormonal control of male and female reproduction [PDF]

, 2016
Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems togenerate a synchronized physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinizinghormone (LH) surge, which is mediated by estradiol (E2) and ...

The genomic response of human granulosa cells (KGN) to melatonin and specific agonists/antagonists to the melatonin receptors

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

The potential anti-cancer effects of melatonin on breast cancer

Exploration of Medicine, 2022
Melatonin is the primary hormone of the pineal gland that is secreted at night. It regulates many physiological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle, gonadal activity, free radical scavenging, immunomodulation, neuro-protection, and cancer ...

Melatonin receptor depletion suppressed hCG-induced testosterone expression in mouse Leydig cells

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2019
Melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 (genes officially named MTNR1A and MTNR1B, respectively) play crucial roles in melatonin-mediated regulation of circadian rhythms, the immune system, and control of reproduction in seasonally breeding animals.
