Molecular Regulation of the Melatonin Biosynthesis Pathway in Unipolar and Bipolar Depression

Molecular Regulation of the Melatonin Biosynthesis Pathway in Unipolar and Bipolar Depression

Melatonin is a neurohormone that maintains the circadian rhythms of the body. By regulating the secretion of other hormones and neurotransmitters, it acts as a pleiotropic modulator that affects, for example, reproductive, immune, cardiovascular, sleep, and wake systems and mood. Thus, synthetic mel...
