Melatonin, the primary hormone produced by the pineal gland, plays a crucial role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and maintaining circadian rhythms. The mechanism of action of melatonin tablets involves its direct interaction with specific melatonin receptors in the brain, particularly MT1 and MT2 receptors. When melatonin binds to these receptors, it initiates a cascade of intracellular signaling events, primarily involving the inhibition of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in neuronal activity in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the master clock of the body, promoting sleep and regulating the sleep-wake cycle. By mimicking the natural melatonin produced by the body, melatonin tablets help regulate sleep patterns, making it an effective treatment for various sleep disorders and jet lag.
