Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin uptake through glucose transporters: a new target for melatonin inhibition of cancer.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that members of the SLC2/GLUT family glucose transporters have a central role in melatonin uptake and is the first time that a facilitated transport of melatonin is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin B12–dependent taurine synthesis regulates growth and bone mass

TL;DR: Vitamin B12 is identified as an essential vitamin that positively regulates postweaning growth and bone formation through taurine synthesis and suggests potential therapies to increase bone mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Precision in Optoacoustic Tomography for Preclinical Imaging in Living Subjects

TL;DR: Optoacoustic tomography data acquired with the small-animal OT system were highly repeatable and reproducible across subjects and over time, and longitudinal OT studies may be performed with high confidence when the standard operating procedure is followed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic changes caused by melatonin increased sensitivity of prostate cancer cells to cytokine‐induced apoptosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of melatonin in drug-induced apoptosis was studied after acute treatments and showed that melatonin is a good inhibitor of the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, promoting phenotypic changes that do not increase survival mechanisms and make cells more sensitive to cytokines such as TNF-alpha or TRAIL.
Journal ArticleDOI

IGFBP3 and MAPK/ERK signaling mediates melatonin-induced antitumor activity in prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Melatonin blocked nuclear translocation of androgen receptor (AR), thus confirming anti‐androgenic actions of the indole, and melatonin prolonged the survival of TRAMP mice by 33% when given at the beginning or at advances stages of the tumor.
