melatonin and Down Syndrome

melatonin has been researched along with Down Syndrome in 11 studies

Down Syndrome: A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra chromosome 21 or an effective trisomy for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.

"Down syndrome (DS) is a disorder characterised by marked immune dysfunction, increased mortality from sepsis, chronic inflammation, increased oxidative stress, sleep disturbance and possibly abnormal endogenous melatonin levels."8.12Melatonin as an immunomodulator in children with Down syndrome. ( Balfe, J; Doherty, DG; Fallah, L; Gallagher, E; Huggard, D; Kelly, L; Lagan, N; McGrane, F; Molloy, EJ; Roche, E; Worrall, A; Yoo, LL, 2022)
"Melatonin administered during adulthood induces beneficial effects on cognition and neuroprotection in the Ts65Dn (TS) mouse model of Down syndrome."7.85Pre- and post-natal melatonin administration partially regulates brain oxidative stress but does not improve cognitive or histological alterations in the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome.

"Melatonin treatment improved spatial learning and memory and increased the number of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)-positive cells in the medial septum of both TS and CO mice."5.39Long-term oral administration of melatonin improves spatial learning and memory and protects against cholinergic degeneration in middle-aged Ts65Dn mice, a model of Down syndrome. ( Corrales, A; Flórez, J; García, E; García, S; Martínez, P; Martínez-Cué, C; Rueda, N; Sanchez-Barceló, EJ; Vidal, V, 2013)
"Down syndrome (DS) is a disorder characterised by marked immune dysfunction, increased mortality from sepsis, chronic inflammation, increased oxidative stress, sleep disturbance and possibly abnormal endogenous melatonin levels."4.12Melatonin as an immunomodulator in children with Down syndrome.

"Melatonin could represent a useful clinical adjunct in the treatment of sepsis as an immunomodulator."3.88Altered endotoxin responsiveness in healthy children with Down syndrome. ( Balfe, J; Doherty, DG; Franklin, O; Huggard, D; Lagan, N; Leahy, TR; McGrane, F; Melo, AM; Molloy, EJ; Moreno, A; Roche, E, 2018)
"Melatonin administered during adulthood induces beneficial effects on cognition and neuroprotection in the Ts65Dn (TS) mouse model of Down syndrome."3.85Pre- and post-natal melatonin administration partially regulates brain oxidative stress but does not improve cognitive or histological alterations in the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome.

( García-Cerro, S; Lantigua, S; Martínez-Cué, C; Parisotto, EB; Rueda, N; Sanchez-Barceló, EJ; Vidal, V; Wilhelm Filho, D, 2016)
"The present results suggest that sleep fragmentation and any resultant cognitive deficits are likely not confounded by corresponding deficits in circadian rhythms."1.46Young children with Down syndrome show normal development of circadian rhythms, but poor sleep efficiency: a cross-sectional study across the first 60 months of life. ( Anand, P; Clark, C; Demara, BI; Edgin, JO; Fernandez, F; Nyhuis, CC; Ruby, NF; Spanò, G, 2017)
"Melatonin treatment improved spatial learning and memory and increased the number of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)-positive cells in the medial septum of both TS and CO mice."1.39Long-term oral administration of melatonin improves spatial learning and memory and protects against cholinergic degeneration in middle-aged Ts65Dn mice, a model of Down syndrome.
