- Abstract
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine) is an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger, that has important biological effects in multiple cell types and species. Melatonin research in muscle has recently gained attention, mainly focused on its role in cells or tissue repair and regeneration after injury, due to its powerful biological functions, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor and anti-cancer, circadian rhythm, and anti-apoptotic effects. However, the effect of melatonin in regulating muscle development has not been systematically summarized. In this review, we outline the latest research on the involvement of melatonin in the regulation of muscle development and regeneration in order to better understand its underlying molecular mechanisms and potential applications.
