Scientific Overview
Melatonin is an endogenous indoleamine hormone primarily synthesized by the pineal gland, widely studied for its role in regulating circadian rhythms, sleep-wake cycles, and cellular redox balance. It acts on MT1 and MT2 receptors to synchronize biological clocks and exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Beyond chronobiology, melatonin is a critical agent in mitochondrial protection, neuronal survival, immunoregulation, and anti-cancer pathways. It is frequently used in research on sleep disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and age-related oxidative stress.
