Color change: A non-invasive measure of melatonin action

摘要: Abstract Research on melatonin's role in photoperiodic phenomena and the molecular mechanism of melatonin action would profit from understanding upon pigment cells incorporation cell pelage parameters into experimental paradigms. Pigment activity is modified by through both direct indirect mechanisms. Melatonin's influence physiological color change, i.e. transfer melanosomes out melanophore processes, result a effect cell. morphological granules to surrounding cornified such as hair, primarily mediated melatonin-induced decreases pituitary prolactin output, an action. Study change valuable those interested phenomena, whereas study This review details current concepts relevant change. We also introduce reader model systems available for at cellular level.
