This hormone influences energy metabolism, modulates insulin sensitivity, and plays a significant role in controlling sleep patterns and food intake. Notably, melatonin is also synthesized in various peripheral organs, including the gastrointestinal system and pancreas, suggesting its function as a local hormone. The presence of melatonin receptors in the pancreas underscores its relevance in pancreatic physiology. Pancreatic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer, often stem from inflammatory processes. The majority of these conditions are characterized by dysregulated immune responses and oxidative stress. Melatonin's anti-inflammatory properties are mediated through the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of antioxidant enzymes, which help to mitigate cellular damage. Furthermore, melatonin has demonstrated pro-apoptotic effects on cancer cells, promoting cell death in malignant tissues while preserving healthy cells. Thus, melatonin emerges as a multifaceted agent with significant therapeutic potential for pancreatic disorders. Its ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress positions it as a promising adjunct therapy for conditions such as diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. By modulating immune responses and enhancing cellular resilience through antioxidant mechanisms, melatonin not only addresses the symptoms but also targets the underlying pathophysiological processes associated with these disorders. This review aims to categorize and summarize the impacts of melatonin on pancreatic functions and disorders, emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic agent for managing pancreatic dysfunctions. Future research should focus on elucidating the precise mechanisms by which melatonin exerts its protective effects on pancreatic tissues and exploring optimal dosing strategies for clinical applications. The integration of melatonin into treatment regimens may enhance existing therapies and offer new hope for individuals suffering from pancreatic dysfunctions.</p>","PeriodicalId":19947,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacological Reports","volume":" ","pages":"315-332"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142740123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has highlighted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a promising therapeutic target for T1D due to its dual role in modulating both β cell survival and immune response within pancreatic islets. GABA signaling supports β cell regeneration, inhibits α cell hyperactivity, and promotes α-to-β cell transdifferentiation, contributing to improved islet function. Moreover, GABA's influence extends to mitigating T1D complications, including nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy, as well as regulating central nervous system pathways involved in glucose metabolism.
