Dopamine neurons (DAns) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) serve as key sites for the synthesis and storage of dopamine (DA) in the body, regulating human cognition and behavioral activity through the nigrostriatal pathway, midbrain limbic cortex system, nodular funnel system, and hypothalamic spinal tract
In laboratory studies, it is sometimes used alongside other metabolic or mitochondrial research agents, depending on experimental design
If the results of these trials are positive, it will open a new horizon in the management of T2DM, obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

The mechanism is that sesamin up regulated CREB gene by activating cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, then up regulated the expression of tyrosinase and MITF, and finally induced melanin synthesis (Jiang et al., 2011)
