Functional aspects of the pineal hormone melatonin in combating cell and tissue damage induced by free radicals

1 Apr 1996

Abstract excerpt

Considering the widespread actions of the pineal hormone melatonin in vertebrate organisms, it is remarkable that so few biomedical scientists took the pineal gland seriously until only recently. When melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) was discovered in 1958, Lerner and colleagues (1) hoped that it would be a treatment for irregular skin pigmentation that occurs in humans with certain diseases. This action...
