Melatonin’s Impact on Antioxidative and Anti-Inflammatory Reprogramming in Homeostasis and Disease
Open accessAbstract
There is a growing consensus that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of melatonin are of great importance in preserving the body functions and homeostasis, with great impact in the peripartum period and adult life. Melatonin promotes adaptation through allostasis and stands out as an endogenous, dietary, and therapeutic molecule with important health benefits. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of melatonin are intertwined and are exerted throughout pregnancy and later during development and aging. Melatonin supplementation during pregnancy can reduce ischemia-induced oxidative damage in the fetal brain, increase offspring survival in inflammatory states, and reduce blood pressure in the adult offspring. In adulthood, disturbances in melatonin production negatively impact the progression of cardiovascular risk factors and promote cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The most studied cardiovascular effects of melatonin are linked to hypertension and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, while the most promising ones are linked to regaining control of metabolic syndrome components. In addition, there might be an emerging role for melatonin as an adjuvant in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19). The present review summarizes and comments on important data regarding the roles exerted by melatonin in homeostasis and oxidative stress and inflammation related pathologies.

![Figure 1 The roles of melatonin within the mitochondria. Melatonin is transported into mitochondria through PEPT1/2 oligopeptide and Glut/SLC2A transporters, but it is also synthesized within mitochondria [12,13]. Melatonin lowers the formation of free radicals and protects ATP synthesis at the mitochondrial level. It scavenges free oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) reactive species, by preventing mitochondrial apoptosis and disruption of the electron transport chain. Melatonin interacts with MT1 and MT2 melatonin receptors, inhibits pro-apoptosis protein synthesis, and the subsequently cytochrome C leakage at the level of the membrane. It also protects mitochondrial DNA and prevents the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) [13].](/paper-figures/3c708f53582d489aad2dd6daaeedb0a8/melatonins-impact-on-antioxidative-and-anti-inflammatory-reprogramming-in-figure-1.jpg)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
