Melatonin as Antioxidant Under Pathological Processes
Many are the diseases which course with free radical formation. These disorders cover a great range of fields such as neurodegenerative, immune, inflammatory and mitochondrial-related diseases. Melatonin is the main pineal gland product and it functions as “time-giver” in the regulation of circadian rhythms, among others. But the actions of melatonin are not only restricted to the neuroendocrin...

It has been believed that melatonin regulates ovarian function by the regulation of gonadotropin release in the hypothalamus-pituitary gland axis via its specific receptors. In a...
متن کاملMelatonin as a Potent and Inducible Endogenous Antioxidant: Synthesis and Metabolism.
Melatonin is a tryptophan-derived molecule with pleiotropic activities. It is present in almost all or all organisms. Its synthetic pathway depends on the species in which it is measured. For example, the tryptophan to melatonin pathway differs in plants and animals. It is speculated that the melatonin synthetic machinery in eukaryotes was inherited from bacteria as a result of endosymbiosis. H...
متن کاملThe Role of Melatonin as a Hormone and an Antioxidant in the Control of Fish Reproduction
Reproduction in most fish is seasonal or periodic, and the spawning occurs in an appropriate season to ensure maximum survival of the offspring. The sequence of reproductive events in an annual cycle is largely under the control of a species-specific endogenous timing system, which essentially relies on a well-equipped physiological response mechanism to changing environmental cues. The duratio...
