Melatonin-Mediated Cytoprotection against Hyperglycemic Injury in Müller Cells
Oxidative stress is a contributing factor to the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness in people at working age worldwide. Recent studies showed that Müller cells play key roles in diabetic retinopathy and produce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that regulates retinal vascular leakage and proliferation. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant capa...

The circadian rhythm of melatonin production and release, characterized by nocturnal activity and daytime quiescence, is an important temporal signa...

متن کاملMelatonin prevents cyclosporine-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
OBJECTIVES Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a widely used immunosuppressive agent that is implicated in the formation of free oxygen radicals. Melatonin is known to be a free radical scavenger and an antioxidant agent. This study was designed to investigate the effects of melatonin on CsA-induced liver damage by histopathological examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two male rats of Sprague-Dawle...
متن کاملBibliography for Melatonin
The purpose of this clinical trial on possible effects of nocturnal MEL administration in perimenopausal women was to find if MEL by itself modifies levels of hormones and produces changes of any kind, independently of age (42-62 years of age) and the stage of the menstrual cycle. It is accepted that a close link exists between the pineal gland, MEL, and human reproduction and that a relationsh...
