There has been increased interest in the measurement of melatonin in plasma and saliva
recently either as a marker of circadian phase or to understand the physiological role of …

The role of melatonin has been extensively investigated in pathophysiological conditions,
including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Reduced melatonin secretion has been reported …

Melatonin, the chief secretory product of the pineal gland, is a direct free radical scavenger,
an indirect antioxidant, as well as an important immunomodulatory agent. In both in vitro and …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), the chief secretory product of the pineal gland in
the brain, is well known for its functional versatility. In hundreds of investigations, melatonin …

The onset of melatonin secretion, the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO), is a tool for
determining the phase of the circadian timing system. Although small studies have …

The production of the pineal hormone melatonin is synchronized with day-night cycle via
multisynaptic pathway including suprachiasmatic nucleus linking several physiological …
