melatonin and Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinoses

melatonin has been researched along with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinoses in 3 studies

Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinoses: A group of severe neurodegenerative diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent wax-like lipid materials (CEROID; LIPOFUSCIN) in neurons. There are several subtypes based on mutations of the various genes, time of disease onset, and severity of the neurological defects such as progressive DEMENTIA; SEIZURES; and visual failure.
