Melatonin is predominantly produced by the pineal gland, and it is also synthesized in various other parts of the body, including the bone marrow, platelets, GI tract, eyes, skin, and lymphocytes. The chemical precursor of melatonin is serotonin, a neurotransmitter derived from tryptophan. The synthesis process involves the acetylation and methylation of serotonin. Light exposure to the eyes influences the synthesis and production of melatonin, with serum concentrations typically low during daylight hours and increasing as night approaches. Due to its crucial role in circadian rhythms, melatonin has been reported to not only impact sleep-wake cycles and antioxidant function but also to have significant effects on reproduction.
