Melatonin (MT) is one of the hormones secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin belongs to the indole heterocyclic compound, and its chemical name is N-acetyl-5 methoxytryptamine, also known as pinealin, melatonin, and melatonin. After the synthesis of melatonin, it is stored in the pineal gland, and the sympathetic nerve excites the pineal gland cells to release melatonin. The secretion of melatonin has an obvious circadian rhythm, the secretion is inhibited during the day, and the secretion is active at night. Melatonin can inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, reducing the contents of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone and follicular estrogen, and can directly act on the gonads, reducing androgens, estrogen and The content of progesterone. In addition, MT has strong neuroendocrine immunomodulatory activity and free radical scavenging antioxidant capacity, which may become a new antiviral treatment method and approach. MT is finally metabolized in the liver, and damage to liver cells can affect the level of MT in the body.
The well-known function of melatonin is mainly to improve sleep (dosage 0.1~0.3mg), shorten the time to wake up and fall asleep before going to bed, and improve the quality of sleep. The number of awakenings during sleep is significantly reduced, the light sleep phase is short, and the deep sleep phase is prolonged. , The wake-up threshold drops the next morning. There is a strong function of adjusting the time difference.
The biggest feature of melatonin should be that it is the strongest endogenous free radical scavenger found so far. The basic function of melatonin is to participate in the antioxidant system and prevent oxidative damage to cells. In this regard, its efficacy exceeds all known substances in the body. The latest research proves that MT is the commander-in-chief of endocrine, which controls various types of body The activity of the endocrine glands.
