Melatonin - The magic hormone

It is a small endocrine gland which is situated in the brain. The pineal gland secretes melatonin which modulates the "sleep-wakefulness" cycle. Darkness enhances melatonin secretion and light stimulus decreases the secretion of melatonin. Let's see how light decreases melatonin secretion -

• "photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells (pRGC)" in the retina, receives light impulse and sends the relevant signals to "Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)" of the hypothalamus.

• Relevant signals are then sent to "Paraventricular nucleus (PVN)" of the hypothalamus from SCN.

• From PVN, impulses are sent to "Superior cervical ganglia (SCG)" of the autonomic nervous system through the spinal cord and sympathetic nervous system.

• Postganglionic axons from the SCG, innervate pineal gland and regulates its function.

Reproductive organs

• The test*s is the main reproductive organ of males. The ovary is the main reproductive organ of females. Test*s secrets Testosterone and the ovaries secrete Progesterone and Oestrogen.

• Secretion of these s*x hormones is regulated by the pituitary gland. The pituitary secretes "Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)" and "Luteinizing hormone (LH)." These hormones, in turn, control the secretion of the hormones secreted by "Test*s and Ovary."

• Secretion of LH and FSH from the pituitary gland is modulated by "Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)" which is secreted by the hypothalamus.

How they are linked?

• Melatonin decreases the release of GnRH from the hypothalamus. Decreased GnRH level causes decrease the secretion of LH and FSH from the pituitary gland.

• Decreased LH and FSH, in turn, decreases the release of Testosterone, Progesterone and Oestrogen.

• As stated above, light stimuli decrease melatonin secretion. As a result, production of s*x hormones is increased.
