[ 1 ] - Effect of melatonin administration on sleep quality in sulfur mustard exposed patients with sleep disorders

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a toxic agent that targets several tissues. It is the leading cause of persistent lung disease, progressive deterioration in lung function and mortality among patients. Disturbed sleep and poor quality of sleep are common in SM-exposed patients with chronic respiratory problems. Melatonin is an alternative medication that has been widely used to treat poor sleep quality c...

[ 3 ] - Effect of Melatonin Treatment on Serum Levels of Mineral Elements, Total Oxidant and Antioxidant Capacity in Mustard Exposed Patients

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a mutagenic compound that causes oxidative stress, antioxidant depletion even several years after exposure. Melatonin is an alternative medication that has antioxidant peroperties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin treatment on serum levels of several mineral elements, total antioxidant (TAC) and total oxidant status (TOS) in sulfur mustard-...
