What is Melatonin produced in Changsha NutraMax Inc .? |
Melatonin also known chemically as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is a naturally occurring compound found in animals, plants, and microbes. In animals, circulating levels of the hormone melatonin vary in a daily cycle, thereby allowing the entrainment of the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. |

(1)Mood disorders Melatonin has been shown to be effective in treating seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression, and is being considered for bipolar and other disorders in which circadian disturbances are involved. It was observed in 1985 that bipolar disorder might have elevated sensitivity to light, i.e., a greater decrease in melatonin secretion in response to light exposure at night, as a "trait marker" (a characteristic of being bipolar, which does not change with state). This could be contrasted with drug-free recovered bipolar patients showing normal light sensitivity. (2)Anti-Cancer A systematic review of unblinded clinical trials involving a total of 643 cancer patients using melatonin found a reduced incidence of death. Another clinical trial is due to be completed in 2012.[dated info] Modelling predicts that melatonin levels at night are reduced to 50% by exposure to a low-level incandescent bulb for only 39 minutes. Studies have shown that melatonin prevents DNA fragmentation in brain tissue caused by dexamethasone neurotoxicity in mice, it is hypothesized it has similar affects on the human brain.Melatonin is hypothesized to inhibit breast cancer-causing fibroblasts, as the main metabolite of melatonin is statistically significantly linked to lower risk of developing breast cancer. It has been suspected that women with the brightest bedrooms have an increased risk for breast cancer.Reduced melatonin production has been proposed as a likely factor in the significantly higher cancer rates in night workers. |
