Melatonin Anticancer Effects: Review
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MLT), the main hormone produced by the pineal gland, not only regulates circadian rhythm, but also has antioxidant, anti-ageing and immunomodulatory properties. MLT plays an important role in blood composition, medullary dynamics, platelet genesis, vessel endothelia, and in platelet aggregation, leukocyte formula regulation and hemoglobin synthesis. Its...
متن کاملEffects of melatonin and prolactin in reproduction: review of literature.
The pineal gland is responsible for producing a hormone called melatonin (MEL), and is accepted as the gland that regulates reproduction in mammals. Prolactin (PRL) also exhibits reproductive activity in animals in response to photoperiod. It is known that the concentrations of PRL are high in the summer and reduced during winter, the opposite of what is seen with melatonin in these seasons. In...
متن کاملMultitargeting activity of miR-24 inhibits long-term melatonin anticancer effects
We have previously shown that melatonin exerts tumor suppressor activities by inducing the p38-p53 axis. This occurred within a few hours while no data are available on how melatonin pathway can be sustained on the long term. Here we show that miR-24, which has been demonstrated to target genes involved in the DNA repair process, targets p38, p53, PML and H2AX simultaneously. We show that long-...
متن کاملMelatonin has multiorgan effects.
Melatonin, widely used to counter transatlantic travel jet lag and insomnia, is synthesized in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the anterior pituitary gland. Its release into the circulation is stimulated by the onset of darkness, followed by a progressive decrease in blood levels with the onset of dawn. Melatonin administration can maintain the quality of sleep and help to counteract age-induced...
متن کاملMelatonin for Olanzapine Metabolic Effects
A study found that patients taking the recommended 3-mg dose of the sleep aid eszopiclone (Lunesta) at bedtime continued to have impaired driving skills, memory, and coordination for as long as 11 hours after ingestion. Patients were often unaware they remained impaired. As a result, the FDA has recommended decreasing the starting dosage of eszopiclone to 1 mg at bedtime. The change should resu...
