Melatonin is a neurohormone produced mainly by the pineal gland and, to a lesser extent, by the retina, gastrointestinal tract, and thymus. It regulates sleep patterns and circadian rhythms by binding to MT1 and MT2 receptors. Melatonin also acts as an antioxidant, reducing free radicals and exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects. Beyond sleep, it has potential therapeutic roles in mood disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Deficiencies in melatonin production are linked to various health issues, prompting the development of synthetic melatonin agonists.
