The hormone appears to be involved in sleep onset and other functions associated with the body's clock, the suprachiasmic nucleus. It is ubiquitous throughout both the animal and plant kingdoms and has a long evolutionary history as a hormone. Melatonin has a major role in the regulation of circadian rhythms in non-mammalian vertebrates and forms part of their control in mammals. The present text emphasizes the positive role of exogenously administered melatonin, and its synthetic derivatives, on disrupted circadian rhythm-related dysfunctions. This is effected by resetting the clock in jet lag sufferers and those with seasonal affective disorders, insomnia, and various neurological conditions. 517 $aMelatonin 606 $aMelatonin 615 0$aMelatonin. 676 $a612.492 702 $aVlachou$b Marilena 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688318103321 996 $aMelatonin$92951504 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01194cam0-2200409---450 001 990004305900403321 005 20240412110241.0 010 $a88-15-03833-7 035 $aFED01000430590 035 $a(Aleph)000430590FED01 100 $a19990604d1984----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $aAlla ricerca dell'ordine politico$eda Machiavelli a Tocqueville$fNicola Matteucci 210 $aBologna$cIl mulino$d1984 215 $a261 p.$d21 cm 225 1 $aUniversale paperbacks Il mulino$v164 610 0 $aPolitica$aTeorie$aSec. 16.-19. 676 $a320.50903 700 1$aMatteucci,$bNicola$f<1926-2006>$0127539 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gRICA$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a990004305900403321 952 $aDP VII - 346$b384$fDEC 952 $a320.5 MAT 1$bBIBL. 9546$fFLFBC 952 $aCOLLEZ. 28 (164)$b26673$fFSPBC 952 $aVI L 822$b1637$fDDA 952 $aDP VI-435$b14922$fDEC 952 $aDAM A90 MATN 01$b2024/4634$fFLFBC 959 $aDEC 959 $aFLFBC 959 $aFSPBC 959 $aDDA 959 $aDEC 996 $aAlla ricerca dell'ordine politico$9137991 997 $aUNINA
