The analysis of a number of works of domestic and foreign literature devoted to the study of regulatory impact on melatonin hormone, tissue and cellular levels. Has been shown age dynamics of the synthesis of melatonin, has been highlighted certain mechanisms of influence on the reproductive function, antioxidant and immunomodu-latory properties. The results of many studies melatonin has confirmed participation in the carcinogenesis process, by changing the proliferative and apoptotic activity, inhibition of telomerase activity.As a result of the carried-out analysis it is possible to conclude existence at mel-atonin of ability to regulate biological rhythms, antioxidatic and antitumoral activity, control over endocrine, nervous, immune systems, ability to provide natural structure of a dream, to slow down processes of aging, influence on development of pregnancy and a fetus.
