Melatonin as a treatment for gastrointestinal cancer: a review

Abstract: Gastrointestinal cancer is a disease that affects the population worldwide with high morbidity and mortality. Melatonin, an endogenously produced molecule, may provide a defense against a variety of cancer types. In particular, the ability of melatonin to inhibit gastrointestinal cancer is substantial. In this review, we first clarify the relationship between the disruption of the melatonin rhythm and gastrointestinal cancer (based on epidemiologic surveys and animal and human studies) and summarize the preven… Show more

“…[6]. Одним із гормо-нів, що забезпечує фізіологічне функціонування шлун-ково-кишкового тракту (ШКТ) взагалі та шлунка зо-крема, є мелатонін, який має антиоксиданту активність, покращує функцію Т-хелперів, стимулює утворення специфічних цитокинів, бере участь в профілактиці ви-никнення ракових клітин, рості та прогресуванні раку ШКТ, включаючи рак шлунка, гепатокарциноми та кар-циноми підшлункової залози [7][8][9][10]. Як відомо, джере-лом синтезу мелатоніну є пінеальна залоза, в якій його синтез залежить від впливу світла.…”
