Russel J. Reiter, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: The consequences of the altered melatonin cycle with the chronodisruption as well as the alterations of GIT melatonin that have been linked to a variety of pathologies, including those of the gastrointestinal tract.

Melatonin identified in meats and other food stuffs: Potentially nutritional impact

Dun Xian Tan, +3 more
- 01 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The levels of melatonin measured by HPLC, in lamb, beef, pork, chicken, and fish, are comparable to other food stuffs (in the range of ng/g), but are significantly higher than melatonin concentrations in the blood of vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the protective effects of melatonin and related indoles against α‐naphthylisothiocyanate‐induced liver injury in rats

Juan R. Calvo, +7 more
- 15 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that melatonin protects against ANIT‐induced liver injury with cholestasis in rats, and it is suggested that this protective effect is likely due to its antioxidant properties and above all to its capacity to inhibit liver neutrophil infiltration, a critical factor in the pathogenesis of ANit‐ induced liver injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin in the oral cavity: physiological and pathological implications

Russel J. Reiter, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2015 - 
TL;DR: Salivary melatonin levels exhibit a circadian rhythm with highest values at night, and the results indicate that endogenously-produced and exogenous-applied melatonin are beneficial to the oral cavity.
