Melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) which bind melatonin. [1] Three types of melatonin receptors have been cloned.The MT 1 (or Mel 1A or MTNR1A) and MT 2 (or Mel 1B or MTNR1B) receptor subtypes are present in humans and other mammals, [2] while an additional melatonin receptor subtype MT 3 (or Mel 1C or MTNR1C) has been identified in amphibia and birds.

Diabetic retinopathy (also known as diabetic eye disease) is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes.It is a leading cause of blindness in developed countries and one of the lead causes of sight loss in the world, even though there are many new therapies and improved treatments for helping people live with diabetes.
About 12 percent of people with type 1 diabetes have clinical depression. [103] About 6 percent of people with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease , but in most cases there are no digestive symptoms [ 104 ] [ 105 ] or are mistakenly attributed to poor control of diabetes, gastroparesis, or diabetic neuropathy. [ 105 ]
There is growing evidence that there is higher levels of clinical depression in patients with diabetes compared to the non-diabetic population. [67] [68] Depression in individuals with diabetes has been found to be associated with poorer self-management of symptoms. [69] This suggests that it may be important to target mood in treatment.
Diabetic neuropathy can affect any peripheral nerves including sensory neurons, motor neurons, and the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, diabetic neuropathy has the potential to affect essentially any organ system and can cause a range of symptoms. There are several distinct syndromes based on the organ systems affected.

Agomelatine acts as a highly potent and selective melatonin MT 1 and MT 2 receptor agonist (K i = 0.1 nM and 0.12 nM, respectively) and also as a relatively weak serotonin 5-HT 2B and 5-HT 2C receptor antagonist (K i = 660 nM and 631 nM, respectively; ~6,000-fold lower than for the melatonin receptors).
Using the PET imaging technology and reagents available as of 2012, it appeared that the D 1 receptor may be underexpressed in the striatum of people with MDD. 5-HT 1A receptor binding literature is inconsistent; however, it leans towards a general decrease in the mesiotemporal cortex. 5-HT 2A receptor binding appears to be dysregulated in ...
