Objective To observe the changes of plasma corticosterone(CS)and melatonin receptor 1(MR1)mRNA and glucocorticoid receptor(GR)in adrenal glands of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)treated with exogenous melatonin.

Effects of exogenous melatonin on adrenal gland melatonin receptor 1 in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

Effect of Total Saponins from Panax notoginseng on Expession of Melatonin Receptor mRNA in Gastric Mucosa of Stress Rats;

A lot of recent studies demonstrated that melatonin receptor was involved in the photoperiodism.

Effect of epinephrine (E)on melatonin receptor (MR) of young mouse thymus were investigated.

In order to study the expression of melatonin receptors Mel 1a and ROR β in the human brain, and to further investigate the melatonin s function in Alzheimer s disease, two melatonin receptor cDNAs were cloned and introduced into pBluescript Ⅱ(KS+) vector.

The exon 2 of melatonin receptor 1a(MTNR1A) gene was amplified and a specific fragment of 824bp was obtained in 4 sheep including non-seasonal estrous breeds(Hu sheep) and seasonal estrous breeds(China Merino、Romilly Hills and Romilly Hills×China Merino Sheep).

The exon 2 of melatonin receptor 1a (MTNR1A) gene was amplified and a uniform fragment of 824 bp was obtained in 146 sheep including non seasonal estrous breeds (Small Tail Han sheep and Hu sheep) and seasonal estrous breeds (Dorset sheep and Suffolk sheep).

The melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) is one of the necessary receptors for melatonin exerting its biological function.

This review introduced the structure and function of melatonin receptor 1B,the cloning and structure,developmental expression,mapping and polymorphism of melatonin receptor 1B gene.
