The pineal gland regulates several biological rhythms and defense responses in healthy subjects by producing melatonin at nighttime. On the other hand, inflammatory mediators impair pineal melatonin synthesis. Our preliminary data presented in this project highlights that low-grade inflammation generated by diet-induced obesity model inhibits nocturnal melatonin synthesis at night and bod…
During the mounting of inflammatory responses, the bidirectional communication between the pineal gland and the immune system induces the suppression of melatonin production in the pineal to allow the proper migration of macrophages and the initiation of the non-rhythmic production of melatonin in the site where the inflammatory process is occurring. We have shown that the TLR4 plays an i…
