Melatonin research (thread):
Melatonin is my favorite molecule in the body, it regulates circadian rhythm, the immune system, and gene expression, and acts as a antioxidant within both cells and mitochondria
This is a collection of a few of my favorite studies on melatonin, specifically focused on endogenous function and production
I'll be adding more over time
