Handbook of Melatonin-Based Therapy and its Applications provides pharmaceutical researchers and health professionals with a comprehensive reference on the applications of melatonin in the therapeutic setting. Succinct, meticulously organized, and expertly written, this book addresses all essential aspects. It starts with an overview of safe use of melatonin, translational aspects, and its prospection. The next section of the book covers a variety of clinical applications, including dosage, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic profiles, toxicity, and principles of action. The chapters in this section cover applications to both adults and pediatric patients suffering from conditions like skin cancers, GI issues, psychiatric, hepatic and ocular conditions.
This is a comprehensive resource for pharmaceutical scientists and health professionals involved in developing therapies and applying them to patients. Researchers in the fields of medicine, biology, neuroscience, and pharmacology conducting studies related to melatonin-based will benefit from insights into the latest research findings, clinical trials, and therapeutic approaches.
