Abstract
Melatonin influences female reproduction from follicular development to delivery.
- Melatonin regulates biological rhythms through receptors in the hypothalamus.
- It affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, impacting reproductive function.
- Melatonin acts as a free radical scavenger, supporting optimal gonadal health.
- It crosses the placenta, potentially affecting fetal development.
- The review discusses melatonin's potential in treating conditions like preeclampsia and polycystic ovary syndrome.
