Topics include:







The basic aspects of melatonin?s physiology, including its production, bioavailability, and metabolism







The functional importance of melatonin receptors and their role in mediating the therapeutic effectiveness of melatonin in cancer







Melatonin?s effect on the regulation of blood pressure, sleep, and circadian rhythms







The cardioprotective role of melatonin







The neuroprotective role in glaucoma, Alzheimer?s disease, Parkinson?s disease, and neurodegenerative diseases







Use as a therapeutic agent for treating epilepsy and degenerative discs

Protective role in peri-natal hypoxic-ischemia





The contributors also examine the discovery of a number of melatonergic agonists, their potential role as antioxidants, and their therapeutic applications in treating glaucoma, Parkinson?s disease, Alzheimer?s disease, primary insomnia, and psychiatric disorders.
