This is what Melatonin actually does (lol, ready?):

"Melatonin has anti-gonadotropic activity (effective for ferret adrenal disease), and it inhibits aromatase enzyme in tissues (decreases androstenedione and testosterone conversion into estradiol) and 21-hydroxylase enzyme (effectively lowers cortisol level). Allow at least 4 months for treatment effects to be effective." from Dr. Jack Oliver/U of Tenn
Uh, could you repeat that please, slowly?
