The first relationship between melatonin and mitochondria came from histological studies showing changes in mitochondrial density and morphology after pinealectomy or melatonin administration to experimental animals. After the discovery of the antioxidant activity of melatonin in 1993, the possibility that melatonin exerts its effects on the mitochondria, the main ROS-producing organelle, was hypothesized. The first experiments demonstrated a highly efficient ability of melatonin to counteract the mitochondrial oxidative stress ''in vitro'' and ''in vivo''. In parallel, melatonin increases the respiratory chain activity, reduces the oxygen consumption, and increases the ATP production. In some of these experiments we could demonstrated that the mitochondria take up melatonin in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. To further analyze the ability of melatonin to prevent and/or counteract mitochondrial dysfunction, different experimental models of aging and disease, including sepsis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease, was evaluated. In all of them, melatonin administration restored the full bioenergetic capacity of the mitochondria, restoring or even increasing their ATP production. Along this time, it was shown that most of the tissues and organs produce melatonin independently of the pineal gland. An important feature of this extrapineal source of melatonin is that its synthetizing enzymes, AANAT and ASMT, are inducible, i.e., the cells produce melatonin when they require it for protective purposes. This melatonin does not exit to the extracellular fluid. To further analyze the dynamics of the extrapineal melatonin, we recently studied the subcellular distribution of the indoleamine in liver and brain. These studies showed that melatonin is produced in considerably higher amounts in these tissues than in the pineal gland, it is not uniformly distributed in the cell, and is mainly located in the membrane, mitochondria and nucleus. Interestingly, membrane content of melatonin increased in a dose-dependent manner after administration of melatonin to rats, but the content of the indoleamine in the nucleus and mitochondria is saturated. There are now evidences of the ability of mitochondria (and chloroplasts) to synthesize melatonin, which explains the high levels of the indoleamine in this organelle.

The first relationship between melatonin and mitochondria came from histological studies showing changes in mitochondrial density and morphology after pinealectomy or melatonin administration to experimental animals. After the discovery of the antioxidant activity of melatonin in 1993, the possibility that melatonin exerts its effects on the mitochondria, the main ROS-producing organelle, was hypothesized. The first experiments demonstrated a highly efficient ability of melatonin to counteract the mitochondrial oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. In parallel, melatonin increases the respiratory chain activity, reduces the oxygen consumption, and increases the ATP production. In some of these experiments we could demonstrated that the mitochondria take up melatonin in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. To further analyze the ability of melatonin to prevent and/or counteract mitochondrial dysfunction, different experimental models of aging and disease, including sepsis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease, was evaluated. In all of them, melatonin administration restored the full bioenergetic capacity of the mitochondria, restoring or even increasing their ATP production. Along this time, it was shown that most of the tissues and organs produce melatonin independently of the pineal gland. An important feature of this extrapineal source of melatonin is that its synthetizing enzymes, AANAT and ASMT, are inducible, i.e., the cells produce melatonin when they require it for protective purposes. This melatonin does not exit to the extracellular fluid. To further analyze the dynamics of the extrapineal melatonin, we recently studied the subcellular distribution of the indoleamine in liver and brain. These studies showed that melatonin is produced in considerably higher amounts in these tissues than in the pineal gland, it is not uniformly distributed in the cell, and is mainly located in the membrane, mitochondria and nucleus. Interestingly, membrane content of melatonin increased in a dose-dependent manner after administration of melatonin to rats, but the content of the indoleamine in the nucleus and mitochondria is saturated. There are now evidences of the ability of mitochondria (and chloroplasts) to synthesize melatonin, which explains the high levels of the indoleamine in this organelle. The phylogenetic origins of the mitochondria, and the presence of melatonin in ancient one cell organisms, speak in favor of a melatonin-mitochondrion connection along the evolution, and the role of melatonin in mitochondrial homeostasis.
