Agomelatine is a synthetic antidepressant that acts as a melatonergic agent, specifically as a melatonin receptor agonist at MT1 and MT2 receptors. By stimulating these receptors, agomelatine mimics the action of natural melatonin, which helps regulate circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles. This agonistic effect can enhance the natural secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland, promoting better sleep and potentially alleviating symptoms of depression related to sleep disturbances. Additionally, agomelatine also influences serotonin receptors, which may further contribute to its overall effects on mood and sleep.

Can you increase the melatonin in your legs so they tan?
No, you cannot increase melatonin levels in your legs to promote tanning. Melatonin is a hormone primarily involved in regulating sleep-wake cycles and is not directly related to skin pigmentation or tanning. Tanning occurs due to the production of melanin in response to UV exposure, not melatonin. For tanning, it’s essential to safely expose your skin to sunlight or use tanning products.
Does exposure to bright light causes thyroid glands to increase productions of melatonin?
Exposure to bright light causes the brain's pineal glad to decrease its production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin in the morning and increase it in the evening. In a nut shell, melatonin helps you sleep and most people don't sleep when light is shining.

What is the mechanism of action of guaifenesin?

When will agomelatine be released?
Agomelatine is currently being re-examined by the EMEA , after a previous failed attempt by Servier to gain approval in 2006. The concern at the time was that effiicacy for long term treatment of depression had not been demonstated. Recent studies have shown agomelatine is effective in long term treatment of depression and useful in anxiety disorders. The EMEA result is expected in mid 2008, so the drug may be available in Europe in 2009 if there are no problems. In the USA Novartis has the rights to develop Agomelatine and it is currently in phase III trials, submission to the FDA may occur by the end of 2008. If all goes well I guess end of 2009/2010 for release in the US is likely.
Does magnetic field exposure increase melatonin level?
Research on the effects of magnetic field exposure on melatonin levels is inconclusive. Some studies suggest that exposure to certain types of electromagnetic fields may disrupt melatonin production, particularly by affecting the pineal gland's function. However, other studies show no significant impact on melatonin levels. Overall, more research is needed to establish any definitive link between magnetic field exposure and melatonin production.
