Melatonin, mostly released by the pineal gland, is a circadian rhythm-regulated and
multifunctional hormone. Great advances in melatonin research have been made, including …

This brief review summarizes new findings related to the reported beneficial effects of
melatonin on reproductive physiology beyond its now well-known role in determining the …

Melatonin is a molecule present in a multitude of taxa and may be ubiquitous in organisms. It
has been found in bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes, macroalgae, fungi, plants and animals. A …

Many factors affect development of mammalian preimplantation embryos in vitro. It is well
known that in vitro development of bovine embryos is highly affected by culture condition …

This review summarizes new findings related to beneficial effects of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is secreted during the dark hours at night
by pineal gland, and it regulates a variety of important central and peripheral actions related …

Vitrification of oocytes has been shown to be closely associated with increased levels of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptotic events. However, little information is available …

It is being increasingly recognized that the processes of lipogenesis and lipolysis are
important for providing an essential energy source during oocyte maturation and embryo …
