Abstract This paper will review the effect of aging on glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in pancreas and in peripheral tissues and how melatonin administration could affect these parameters. In SAMP8 mice insulin levels in plasma were found to...

The role of mitochondria in brain aging and the effects of melatonin.

Current neuropharmacology

Escames G, López A, García JA, García L, Acuña-Castroviejo D, García JJ, López LC.
PMID: 21358969
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2010 Sep;8(3):182-93. doi: 10.2174/157015910792246245.

Melatonin is an endogenous indoleamine present in different tissues, cellular compartments and organelles including mitochondria. When melatonin is administered orally, it is readily available to the brain where it counteracts different processes that occur during aging and age-related neurodegenerative...

PURPOSE: We analyzed the association between salivary melatonin rhythm and prostate cancer (PCa).MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 40 PCa cases and 41 controls from the CAPLIFE study were analyzed to determine the salivary melatonin rhythm through 6 saliva...

The Impact of Melatonin Supplementation and NLRP3 Inflammasome Deletion on Age-Accompanied Cardiac Damage.

Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland)

Sayed RKA, Fernández-Ortiz M, Rahim I, Fernández-Martínez J, Aranda-Martínez P, Rusanova I, Martínez-Ruiz L, Alsaadawy RM, Escames G, Acuña-Castroviejo D.
PMID: 34439517
Antioxidants (Basel). 2021 Aug 10;10(8). doi: 10.3390/antiox10081269.

To investigate the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiac aging, we evaluate here morphological and ultrastructural age-related changes of cardiac muscles fibers in wild-type and NLRP3-knockout mice, as well as studying the beneficial effect of melatonin therapy. The results...

Curr Neuropharmacol. 2012 Jun;10(2):167-78. doi: 10.2174/157015912800604489.

The intensity of pain sensation exhibits marked day and night variations. Since the intensity of pain perception is low during dark hours of the night when melatonin levels are high, this hormone has been implicated as one of the...

Early gender differences in the redox status of the brain mitochondria with age: effects of melatonin therapy.

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

Escames G, Díaz-Casado ME, Doerrier C, Luna-Sánchez M, López LC, Acuña-Castroviejo D.
PMID: 25436750
Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig. 2013 Dec;16(2):91-100. doi: 10.1515/hmbci-2013-0026.

Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative/nitrosative stress are common features of senescence, and they explain some of the pathophysiological events during aging. In different animal models of aging, the existence of oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported....

Melatonin/Nrf2/NLRP3 Connection in Mouse Heart Mitochondria during Aging.

Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland)

Fernández-Ortiz M, Sayed RKA, Fernández-Martínez J, Cionfrini A, Aranda-Martínez P, Escames G, de Haro T, Acuña-Castroviejo D.
PMID: 33260800
Antioxidants (Basel). 2020 Nov 27;9(12). doi: 10.3390/antiox9121187.

Aging is a major risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Age-related disorders include oxidative stress, mitochondria dysfunction, and exacerbation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 innate immune response pathways. Some of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes, however, remain unclear. This study tested...

Primary mitochondrial diseases are caused by mutations in mitochondrial or nuclear genes, leading to the abnormal function of specific mitochondrial pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction is also a secondary event in more common pathophysiological conditions, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome....
