Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder, approximately 1% of the population worldwide have epilepsy."5.35Cardiovascular protective effect of melatonin in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: a hypothesis. ( Amado, D; Arida, RM; Cavalheiro, EA; Colugnati, DB; de Lima, E; Naffah-Mazzacoratti, Mda G; Scorza, FA, 2008)
" The results support the hypothesis that suppression of the nocturnal concentrations of the endogenous anticonvulsant melatonin by sudden increases in geomagnetic activity may encourage fatal cardiac arrhythmias by uncoupling the insular/amygdaloid-paraventricular hypothalamic-solitary nucleus pathways."3.69Sudden unexpected death in epileptics following sudden, intense, increases in geomagnetic activity: prevalence of effect and potential mechanisms. ( Persinger, MA; Psych, C, 1995)
"Melatonin (MEL) is a neurohormone in humans produced in a number of locations."1.51Case report of sudden death in a twin infant given melatonin supplementation: A challenging interpretation of postmortem toxicology. ( Briones, AJ; Gordon, CJ; Jackson, GF; Shimomura, ET; Warren, WS, 2019)
