The transition period for maternity is marked by drastic physiological and behavioral adaptations that aim to supply the increase in energy demand and meet the needs of the offspring through breastfeeding and maternal care. These changes are mediated by extensive remodeling of the neural circuits. The continuous generation of new neurons (neurogenesis) emerges as an essential mechanism of…
Shift work is a widespread practice in our society, which is detrimental to the health of workers. These impairments may be associated with changes in melatonin synthesis, which plays a role in the regulation of energy metabolism and neurogenesis functions. It is known that melatonin is a hormone that has been shown to be essential in intrauterine programming and immediate post-natal as …
Maternal melatonin plays a pivotal role in providing photoperiodic information to the fetus and by that influencing the regulation and timing of internal rhythms of the offspring and their preparation for extrauterine life. Maternal melatonin deprivation (mainly caused by nightwork and shift work) during pregnancy and lactation has negative health consequences for the offspring that conti…
