Melatonin Treatment Sample Clauses

Melatonin Treatment. Generally being classified as a lipophilic hormone, melatonin (N-acetyl-5- methoxytryptamine), is in fact, an important secretory product of pineal gland and a major component of the circadian system. (Xxxxxx, 2003; Xxxxxxx, et al., 2011). Suppressed by light and controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the concentration of melatonin remains at a low level during daytime and starts to rise at night during which it peaks around 2-4am. (Xxxxxxxxxx, 1997). Melatonin acts as a highly effective oxidant, and has been recently found to be a free radical scavenger. (Xxx, et al., 2003; Xxx, et al., 2009). Several studies have shown that melatonin improves antioxidative enzyme activity and reduces oxidative damage. (Xxxxxxxxx, et al., 2004; Xxxxxxxxxx, et al., 2008; Xx Xxxxxxx, et al., 2008). It is thought that melatonin also plays roles in inhibiting oxidative stress, lowering blood pressure, and potentially reducing inflammatory processes. (Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx, et al., 2009; Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 2009; Xxxx, et al., 2010). Xxxxxx in 2003 reviewed several clinical aspects of melatonin with respect to its effects on the immune system, as well as its antioxidant effects. He evaluated the physiological and pharmacological benefits of melatonin administration in humans and animals and demonstrated non-toxicity of the molecule. (Xxxxxx, 2003). Studies have reported that the dosage level and time of administration is critical for the efficacy of exogenous melatonin administration. (Xxxxxxx, 1993). In addition, Xxxxx, xxx Xxxxxxx and xx Xxxxx conducted a systematic review on melatonin dose variation in 2014, and suggested that a lower supplementation level may be associated with better outcome. (Vural, van Munster, & de Rooij, 2014).
