The primary resident immune cells in the central nervous system, responsible for pathogen surveillance, immune protection and synaptic pruning. Microglia have been implicated in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, largely in animal models. Astrocytes A subtype of glial cells in the central nervous...
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, Mel) is the main hormone secreted by the pineal gland. Mel is an indoleamine with antioxidant, chronobiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties [23]. Mel can reduce organ inflammation and reshape intestinal microflora in animals and humans [24,25]. In addit...

Like I said earlier, melatonin is a hormone in your body that is produced by the pineal gland. The supplement “supplements” the melatonin levels produced by the brain in the case of a deficiency there by preparing the body for sleep. I’d also advice that it is not used during the ...
Just as some treatments currently used for migraine can increase PRL levels, there are other treatments aiming at modifying the level of this hormone as the primary target (Table2). Before discussing the effect of individual drugs on PRL levels, it is important to understand the physiological pat...

Melatonin is a hormone that the brain produces when it gets dark. It goes to cells and instructs the body to sleep. Sunlight or light exposure decreases the generation of melatonin while increasing the release of cortisol, which wakes us up. When we are exposed to too much light late at ...
in a big way because the hormones are not produced at the proper levels. You end up feeling tired both physically and mentally even after performing simple tasks. You may feel fatigued after a long rest or sleep. Adrenal fatigue can cause obesity due to the high levels of cortisol hormone....
Based on this, we hypothesized that the RMTg is responsible for REM sleep suppression. In this study, optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches combined with EEG recordings were used to investigate the sufficiency and necessity of GABAergic neurons, the primary neuronal type in the RMTg, for ...
Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is synthesized principally in the stomach and is released in response to fasting. Ghrelin is structurally related to motilin and, together, they represent a novel family of gut–
