DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-02152-x
Abstract: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by a wide genetic and clinical heterogeneity. However, some biochemical impairments, including decreased melatonin (crucial for circadian regulation) and elevated platelet N-acetylserotonin (the precursor of melatonin) have been reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep41236
Abstract: Within the chloroplasts reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during photosynthesis and stressful conditions. Excessive ROS damages chloroplasts and reduces photosynthesis if not properly detoxified. In this current study, we document that chloroplasts produce melatonin,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antiox11050918
Abstract: Gibberellic acid (GA) was recently shown to induce melatonin synthesis in rice. Here, we examined whether brassinosteroids (BRs) also induce melatonin synthesis because BRs and GA show redundancy in many functions. Among several plant hormones,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12101340
Abstract: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) frequently results in sleep-wake disturbances. However, limited studies have investigated the molecular signaling mechanisms underlying these sleep disturbances, and potentially efficacious therapies are lacking. We investigated the levels of melatonin… read more here.
