The synthesis and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light, suggesting the involvement of melatonin in circadian rhythm and regulation of diverse body functions. Levels of melatonin start to increase prior to bedtime. Synthetic melatonin supplements have been used for a variety of medical conditions, most notably for disorders related to sleep. Melatonin possesses antioxidant activity, and many of its proposed therapeutic or preventive uses are based on this property. This important book presents a full spectrum of research on melatonin and is destined to become an essential reference for anyone interested in melatonin.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886593683799,"sku":"9781600213748","price":129.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/melatonin-present-future-9781600213748","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
