Melatonin supplementation facilitated body weight reduction, improved the antioxidant defense, and regulated adipokine secretion in obese patients on a calorie-restricted diet, strongly suggesting that melatonin should be considered in obesity management.

Glucose and metabolic health markers is closer to a research marker, so it should be read separately from a directly felt benefit.

Melatonin intake was shown to have a significant impact on improving Oxidative stress parameters, however, future research through large, well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to determine the effect of melatonin on oxidative stress parameter
It is observed that intrafollicular concentrations of melatonin were blunted in women with unexplained infertility (UI), which was associated with a marked oxidative imbalance in UI patients’ FF, and this translated into a slight increase in the rate of pregna

Melatonin was associated with better sleep quality, which suggests its possible role in the routine care of critically ill patients in the future.
Overall, melatonin supplementation for 12 weeks to patients with PD had favorable effects on the UPDRS part I score, PSQI, BDI, BAI, hs-CRP, TAC, GSH, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, total-, LDL-cholesterol, and gene expression of TNF-α, PPAR-γ and LDLR, but did not
There is a positive effect of melatonin supplementation in rooster semen freezing extenders on post-thawed sperm quality, and there was a decrease in the amount of lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation, and apoptotic-like changes after thawing.
