| Abstract: | This ubiquitous molecule called Melatonin
regulates your body clock. Widely distributed in plants, fungi and animals, in
most vertebrates and in humans melatonin is produced primarily by the pineal
gland, a small endocrine gland situated in the center of the brain. This tiny
gland is often called the "third eye" due to its central placement
deep in the middle of the brain. |
