Progressive compromise of antioxidant defenses and free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation, which is one of the major mechanisms of secondary traumatic brain injury (TBI), has also been reported in pediatric head trauma. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of melatonin, which is a potent free radical scavenger, on brain oxidative damage in 7-day-old rat pups subjected to c...

Mechanosensitive (MS) channels, ones whose open probability varies with membrane tension in patch recordings, are diverse and ubiquitous, yet many are remarkably insensitive to mechanical stimuli in situ. Failure to elicit mechanocurrents from cells with abundant MS channels suggests that, in situ, the channels are protected from mechanical stimuli. To establish what conditions affect MS channe...
