Melatonin in Critically Ill Children

Abstract: Melatonin, while best known for its chronobiologic functions, has multiple effects that may be relevant in critical illness. It has been used for circadian rhythm maintenance, analgesia, and sedation, and has antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and antiexcitatory effects. This review examines melatonin physiology in health, the current state of knowledge regarding endogenous melatonin production in pediatric critical illness, and the potential uses of exogenous melatonin in this po… Show more

“…In addition to our primary outcome, we have several secondary (exploratory) outcomes of interest which are outlined in detail in Table 3 . These exploratory outcomes were selected due to their known association with circadian rhythm disruption in the PICU [ 2 , [14] , [15] , [16] ].…”

“…Dziś wiadomo, że melatonina jest syntetyzowana w wielu tkankach, zarówno roślin, jak i zwierząt, począwszy od komórek bakterii, pierwotniaków, roślin i bezkręgowców, na kręgowcach kończąc. Również spektrum znanych obecnie efektów działania melatoniny znacznie przekracza pierwotne odkrycia [4][5][6].…”

“…Melatonina (N-acetylo-5-metoksytryptamina) jest indoloaminą, której grupy funkcyjne decydują nie tylko o specyficzności wiązania z receptorem, ale także o jej amfifilowości, umożliwiającej cząsteczce wnikanie do dowolnej komórki, kompartmentu lub płynu ustrojowego [5].…”
