melatonin and Parkinsonian Disorders

melatonin has been researched along with Parkinsonian Disorders in 27 studies

Parkinsonian Disorders: A group of disorders which feature impaired motor control characterized by bradykinesia, MUSCLE RIGIDITY; TREMOR; and postural instability. Parkinsonian diseases are generally divided into primary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE), secondary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE, SECONDARY) and inherited forms. These conditions are associated with dysfunction of dopaminergic or closely related motor integration neuronal pathways in the BASAL GANGLIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Melatonin has been shown to be highly effective in reducing oxidative damage in the central nervous system; this efficacy derives from its ability to directly scavenge a number of free radicals and to function as an indirect antioxidant."2.40Melatonin as a pharmacological agent against neuronal loss in experimental models of Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease and parkinsonism. ( Cabrera, J; Manchester, LC; Mayo, JC; Reiter, RJ; Sainz, RM; Tan, DX, 1999)
"Melatonin was administered (20 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to Group-M and Group-P + M twice a day for five days."1.72Role of melatonin in TLR4-mediated inflammatory pathway in the MTPT-induced mouse model. ( Agar, A; Aytac, G; Ozkan, A; Tanriover, G; Yildirim, S, 2022)
"Melatonin treatment attenuated the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase in the striatum and abolished it in the substantia nigra."1.43Chronic low-dose melatonin treatment maintains nigrostriatal integrity in an intrastriatal rotenone model of Parkinson's disease. ( Carriere, CH; Kang, NH; Niles, LP, 2016)
"Melatonin treatment significantly decreased COX, PGE2 and caspase-3 activity, increased Bcl-2 and had no effect on NF-κB levels in experimental PD."1.40Mechanism of the beneficial effect of melatonin in experimental Parkinson's disease. ( Agar, A; Aslan, M; Dilmac, S; Gemici, B; Kaya, Y; Ogut, E; Ozkan, A; Ozsoy, O; Tanriover, G; Yildirim, FB, 2014)
"Melatonin is a neurohormone secreted by the pineal gland, which has several important physiological functions."1.40Neuroprotective and antidepressant-like effects of melatonin in a rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease model in rats. ( Andreatini, R; Barbiero, JK; Bassani, TB; Boschen, SL; da Cunha, C; Gradowski, RW; Lima, MM; Santiago, RM; Vital, MA; Zaminelli, T, 2014)
"Melatonin is a natural antioxidant and free radical scavenger that has been shown to effectively reduce cellular oxidative stress and protect mitochondrial functions in vitro."1.37Melatonin protects against neurobehavioral and mitochondrial deficits in a chronic mouse model of Parkinson's disease. ( Lau, YS; Patki, G, 2011)
"Melatonin has been reported to be neuroprotective in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) models of PD."1.36Melatonin treatment potentiates neurodegeneration in a rat rotenone Parkinson's disease model. ( Cannon, JR; Greenamyre, JT; Tapias, V, 2010)
"Melatonin treatment significantly attenuated both the L-DOPA and MPTP-induced increases in the levels of striatal 6-OHDA, and protected against striatal DA depletion caused by the neurotoxin."1.35Melatonin inhibits 6-hydroxydopamine production in the brain to protect against experimental parkinsonism in rodents. ( Borah, A; Mohanakumar, KP, 2009)
"Melatonin treatment restored the rotenone-induced decrease in GSH level and changes in antioxidant enzyme (SOD and catalase) activities in the SN."1.34Melatonin protects against rotenone-induced oxidative stress in a hemiparkinsonian rat model. ( Mohanakumar, KP; Saravanan, KS; Sindhu, KM, 2007)
"Melatonin was initially dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), diluted to 16 microg/ml and then provided in the drinking water for 4 weeks."1.31Chronic administration of pharmacological levels of melatonin does not ameliorate the MPTP-induced degeneration of the nigrostriatal pathway. ( Morgan, WW; Nelson, JF, 2001)
" We found that the antioxidant melatonin (500 microg/kg bw) prevents cell death as well as the damage induced by chronic administration of MPTP measured as number of nigral cells, tyrosine hydroxylase levels, and several ultra-structural features."1.31Protective effect of melatonin in a chronic experimental model of Parkinson's disease. ( Antolín, I; del Brío, Mde L; Herrera, F; Martín, V; Mayo, JC; Rodríguez, C; Sainz, RM, 2002)
