Possible Interaction: Melatonin and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Melatonin treatment prevented the alteration in 24-hour rhythms of serum ACTH , prolactin and luteinizing hormone in rats injected with FCA.
Neurosignals  •  2003  |  View Paper
An interaction between melatonin and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) seems to occur in humans and both hormones respond to beta‐adrenergic stimulation.
Journal of pineal research  •  2000  |  View Paper
Collectively, the results showed that melatonin facilitated aldosterone production induced by ACTH and activin via the cAMP-PKA pathway.
Melatonin has been reported to suppress adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion in the anterior pituitary and cortisol production in the adrenal by different mechanisms.

In nonhuman primates and rodents, melatonin acting directly on the adrenal gland, inhibits glucocorticoid response to ACTH.
Melatonin inhibited these ACTH effects.
Our study demonstrates, for the first time, direct inhibitory effects of melatonin upon several ACTH responses in the human adrenal gland.

Melatonin ingestion reduced the cortisol response to ACTH from 14.6 +/- 1.45 microg/dl at 60 min in the placebo group to 10.8 +/- 1.2 microg/dl in the melatonin group (p < 0.01 mixed model test).

Furthermore, melatonin has been described as performing an antiaggregating activity, and ACTH and vitamin E have been described as increasing melatonin effects.

Blood plasma concentration of ACTH was diminished significantly by 10(-7) M melatonin in DMSO-infused, but not in luzindole- or 4-P-PDOT-injected rats, however, it remained inactive in modifying the corticosterone blood plasma concentrations in any of the studied subgroups.

Significant inhibitory effects of MLT (1 mg/kg) were observed on the plasma concentrations of CRH, ACTH , and corticosterone of the HPA axis.

We found that melatonin directly inhibits the response to noradrenaline in the MCA and BAT, and also inhibits the response to ACTH in the adrenal gland.

The elevated levels of melatonin during winter months might inhibit the synthesis of ACTH , probably when affecting some secretagogue of this pituitary hormone.
