Peripheral and Central Effects of Melatonin on Blood Pressure Regulation
The pineal hormone, melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), shows potent receptor-dependent and -independent actions, which participate in blood pressure regulation. The antihypertensive effect of melatonin was demonstrated in experimental and clinical hypertension. Receptor-dependent effects are mediated predominantly through MT1 and MT2 G-protein coupled receptors. The pleiotropic receptor-...
متن کاملA Possible Role in Blood Pressure Regulation
During the last decade, the actions of central nervous system peptides on blood pressure and volume homeostasis have been the subject of intense investigation. There is evidence that central mechanisms of cardiovascular control could be modulated by brain peptides. Kinins are biologically active peptides released from kininogen by either glandular or plasma kallikrein. Kinins in the central ner...
متن کاملBlood pressure reducing effects of piromelatine and melatonin in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
BACKGROUND Recently, widespread interest has grown regarding melatonin treatment of hypertension including its cardioprotective effects. Studies in rodents indicate that melatonin plays a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension in rats with metabolic syndrome. Piromelatine, a melatonin agonist, serotonin 5-HT-1A and 5-HT-1D agonist and serotonin 5-HT2B antagonist is a multimodal agent with sle...

متن کاملMelatonin as an Anti-Inflammatory Agent Modulating Inflammasome Activation
Inflammation may be defined as the innate response to harmful stimuli such as pathogens, injury, and metabolic stress; its ultimate function is to restore the physiological homeostatic state. The exact aetiology leading to the development of inflammation is not known, but a combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis of many ...
