Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pineal Melatonin: Cell Biology of Its Synthesis and of Its Physiological Interactions*

Russel J. Reiter
- 01 May 1991 - 
TL;DR: The pineal gland can be rapidly removed from rodents with minimal damage to adjacent neural structures using a specially designed trephine, and since the mid 1960s, research on the gland has become a very active area of investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of antioxidant enzymes: a significant role for melatonin.

Carmen Rodríguez, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: This report reviews the studies which document the influence of melatonin on the activity and expression of the antioxidative enzymes glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutases and catalase both under physiological and under conditions of elevated oxidative stress and analyses the possible mechanisms by which melatonin regulates these enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

One molecule, many derivatives: a never-ending interaction of melatonin with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species?

Dun Xian Tan, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: This review focuses on melatonin metabolism which includes the synthetic rate‐limiting enzymes, synthetic sites, potential regulatory mechanisms, bioavailability in humans, mechanisms of breakdown and functions of its metabolites.
