...David C. New; Siu T. Tsim; Yung H. Wong The isolation and characterization of multiple melatonin receptors in a wide range of tissues and cells signifies the functional diversity of melatonin. In different cellular environments, melatonin can regulate distinct second messengers or even positively...

... of the prolactin gene in vitro suggesting that this pineal hormone may be a potential anticarcinogen in vivo. It has also been shown that MT 2 (Mel 1b ) melatonin receptors are expressed in anterior pituitary cells. The use of melatonin as a preventive or therapeutic drug for prolactinomas should be further...

...Q. Wan; S.F. Pang Melatonin receptors were studied in quail livers using the melatonin agonist 2-[ 125 I]iodomelatonin ([ 125 I]MEL) as the radioligand. The specific binding of [ 125 I]MEL to membrane preparations of liver was rapid, stable, saturable, reversible and of high affinity. Scatchard...
