Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, which can increase the concentration of aminobutyric acid and serotonin in the midbrain and hypothalamus.
The secretion of melatonin is characterized by a circadian rhythm, which affects sleep quality when night falls. Because melatonin has an impact on physiological rhythms, it can be used to alleviate diseases caused by jet lag syndrome and other sleep delays.
