Tóm tắt

"There is a growing interest in the field of melatonin research concerning its neurobiological mechanisms as well as its repercussions in clinical practice. A decrease in melatonin production and receptors results in numerous dysfunctions in the body. This text explores melatonin's neuroprotective effects and discusses the therapeutic potential of melatonin and melatonin agonists in treating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to addressing the neuroprotective role of melatonin, the book also explores its protective roles in other tissues such as the brain, heart, and liver"--Provided by publisher.
