Abstract
Melatonin (N-Methyl-5-Methoxytryptamine) is a neurohormone that is synthesized in the pineal gland as well as in other organs of the body and their functions are crucial to vertebrate’s life since they include the regulation of circadian rhythms by facilitating sleep and being a free radical scavenger in the brain.1‒6 Moreover, the intake of exogenous melatonin has been associated with more complex functions such as being effective in improving the conditions of animals in depression/anxiety models as well as in patients with mood disorders.7‒10
