用处
メラトニン（英: Melatonin）は、動物、动物、微生物に存在するホルモンであり、また化学的にN-アセチル-5-メトキシトリプタミン（N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine）として知られる。動物では、メラトニンの血中濃度は1日の周期で変化しており、それぞれの生物学的な機能における概日リズムによる同調を行っている。
メラトニンによる多くの生物学的な効果は、メラトニン受容体（英語版）の活性を通して天生され、他にも広範囲にわたる強力な抗酸化物質としての役割によって 特に核DNAやミトコンドリアDNAを保護する。
効能

製造
メラトニン，ほ乳類の松果体で，トリプトファンからセロトニンを経て分解されるホルモン．

説明
Melatonin, at times referred to as the “hormone of darkness,” normally is secreted during the night.
It is synthesized in the pineal gland, and its secretion is controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus, following an
endogenous circadian rhythm. Studies indicate that melatonin may
化学的特征

自然物の发源
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in the body.
利用
Melatonine can be used in sleep induction, modifies circadian rhythm, antioxidant, free radical scavenger
定義
ChEBI: A member of the class of acetamides that is acetamide in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen atom is replaced by a 2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl group. It is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in humans.
天下保健機関（WHO）
Melatonin is promoted as a cure for travel sickness, jet-lag and
insomnia and has recently been claimed in the United States to reverse the ageing
process. A synthetic version has been freely available from health food shops and
pharmacies as a "nutritional supplement" since 1993.
普通的な説明
A hormone that has been postulated as being a mediator of photic-induced anti-gonadotropic activity in photoperiodic mammals. Counteracts the apoptotic effects of etoposide in bone marrow cells. Melatonin receptors are coupled to a G-protein system. Inhibits rat cerebellar nitric oxide synthase (NOS).
生物活性
Endogenous hormone that acts as an agonist at melatonin receptors MT 1 and MT 2 . Exhibits a prominent role in the control of circadian rhythm, displays immunomodulatory activity and acts as a powerful antioxidant in vivo .
臨床応用
Melatonin is most effective in young individuals and appears to be less effective in elderly individuals (possibly because of a decreased number of receptors). Melatonin causes a phase shift of approximately 1 hour per day. This means that the use of melatonin in the morning can delay the onset of evening sleepiness, whereas melatonin taken in the evening has been associated with faster onset of sleep and increased total sleep time. Melatonin is sold as a food supplement in the United States, but it has become popular for use as a hypnotic and for alleviating jet lag (a flight across five or more time zones) and helping to resynchronize individuals who have difficulty adapting to night-shift work. have effects on circadian rhythm and sleep processes. The presence of a pharmacologically specific receptor for melatonin in which the molecular structure is known are referred to as MT1, MT2, and MT3 receptors. The MT1 and MT2 receptors are high-affinity G protein coupled receptors, whereas MT3 is a form of quinone reductase. The MT1 receptor appears to be primarily involved in initiating sleep, whereas the MT2 receptor appears to mediate melatonins effect in the eye, circadian rhythm, and vascular effects. The importance of MT3, although widely distributed in different tissues, is currently unknown. The normal physiological concentration of melatonin observed at night is approximately 100 to 200 pg/mL, and oral doses of 0.1 to 0.3 mg of melatonin are adequate to obtain these concentrations even though melatonin frequently is given at doses of 1 to 10 mg to obtain supraphysiological levels. These higher doses may be the reason for some of the side effects not currently associated with the melatonin receptors.
