Abstract:
Melatonin is a neuroamine hormone secreted mainly by the pineal gland of mammals. It regulates the mechanisms related to circadian rhythm and reproduction in the central and peripheral systems of the body. Additionally, it also has powerful effects about antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, anti-tumor, autophagy regulation, endocrine regulation and so on. An increasing number of researches suggest that melatonin plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive system, thus improving the outcome of female infertility. This review summarized the progress of the research on the reproductive regulation of melatonin and the role of melatonin in several common diseases that lead to female infertility.
