Resumen:
We have tried tosummarize the actions of melatonin (MEL) in different organs of the GIT and thepotential usefulness as a drug to ameliorate or cure a variety ofgastrointestinal disorders. A brief description of MEL receptors and theirlocalization throughout the GIT is also presented. Analyses of experimental andclinicaltrials for healing or protection of gastrointestinal disorders, such as refluxesophagitis, peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, intestinal ischemia/reperfusionand others are performed. Finally, the effects of MEL treatment on the intestinal Ca2+absorption under conditions of oxidative stress are discussed.
