Melatonin plays a critical role in the pathophysiological process including circadian rhythm,
apoptosis, and oxidative stress. It can be synthesized in ocular tissues, and its receptors are …

Melatonin, an indoleamine secreted mainly by the pineal gland, is known to modulate a
wide range of circadian functions. However, this neurohormone is also synthesized within …

Melatonin, a versatile hormone produced by the pineal gland, has garnered considerable
scientific interest due to its diverse functions. In the eye, melatonin regulates a variety of key …

Melatonin is a ubiquitous molecule found in living organisms, ranging from bacteria to plants
and mammals. It possesses various properties, partly due to its robust antioxidant nature …

Melatonin is a hormone, which is mainly produced by the pineal gland, a vestigial eye.
Rather than the rods and cones, it is a newly discovered subgroup of photosensitive retinal …

Melatonin's cytoprotective properties may have therapeutic implications in treating ocular
diseases like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Literature data suggest that …

In the vertebrate retina, melatonin is synthesized by the photoreceptors with high levels of
melatonin at night and lower levels during the day. Melatonin exerts its influence by …

Introduction: The pineal indole-derived hormone melatonin is a modulator of circadian and
seasonal rhythms with an important role in ocular health and disease. This could be due to …

Melatonin is a ubiquitous molecule and widely distributed in nature, with functional activity
occurring in unicellular organisms, plants, fungi, and animals. Several studies have …

Melatonin is not only synthesized by the pineal gland but by several ocular structures. This
natural indoleamine is of great importance for regulating several eye processes, among …
