Melatonin
Melatonin is an endogenous hormone produced by the pineal gland that acts on melatonin receptors to regulate circadian rhythms. It is widely used in research on sleep disorders, chronobiology, and neuroprotection, with applications in both in vitro assays and in vivo animal studies due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
