Abstract
In recent years, increasing attention of researchers has been paid to the role of melatonin in the regulation of body weight. When analyzing literature data, the problem of the mechanism of action of melatonin on the body and its use in the correction of metabolic disorders is considered. Disruption of circadian rhythms caused by the use of artificial light at night leads to decreased melatonin secretion. This helps increase appetite and reduce energy costs. In addition, melatonin plays a major role in modulating the secretion of adipokines by influencing lipid metabolism. Decreased melatonin production causes insulin resistance and metabolic circadian disorganization, leading to obesity. Assessing the role of melatonin in the development of obesity and its accompanying pathologies is a promising area of scientific research in the field of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of endocrine and cardiovascular pathologies.
