Melatonin is synthesized mainly in ? pineal gland ?. Using 5-hydroxytryptamine as raw material, n-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine was acetylated by n-acetyl-transferase to produce n-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, and then n-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine was methylated to melatonin by S-adenosylmethionine under the catalysis of hydroxy-indole-oxy-methyltransferase.
In addition, melatonin can also be synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, thyroid, retina, and kidney.
Melatonin synthesis in vivo is circadian regulated by a circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus region.
The pineal gland is a reddish brown pin-shaped body located between the anterior colliculus of the diencephalon and the thalamus. The pineal gland can sense light signals and respond, such as feeling happy and energetic on a sunny day, and feeling depressed and unhappy on a cloudy day.
Because the pineal cells are rich in serotonin, melatonin is secreted under the action of special enzymes. In general, the body secretes more melatonin at night. Melatonin can affect human neural activities, such as sleep and wakefulness, mood, intelligence and so on.
This naming preserves the cold knowledge:
If you inject melatonin into some fish/frogs, it can actually "fade" them and make them transparent, but in humans it just makes you sleepy, not white food
