OBJECTIVE
Melatonin has been demonstrated to reduce liver damage in different models of stress. However, there is only limited information on the impact of this hormone on hepatic gene expression. The aim of this study was, to investigate the influence of melatonin or the melatonergic agonist
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate whether melatonin is involved in brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MATERIAL AND METHODS An SAH model was established and TUNEL assays were utilized to detect the effect of melatonin on cell apoptosis. Western blot analysis was
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is substantial evidence to suggest that oxidative stress is significant in the development of acute brain injury following SAH. Melatonin is a strong antioxidant that
BACKGROUND
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a devastating neurological disorder of very low birth weight premature infants that leads to post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant known to reverse free-radical mediated injury in the
OBJECTIVE
Melatonin has been demonstrated to attenuate organ damage in models of ischemia and reperfusion. Melatonin treatment before hemorrhagic shock has been shown to improve liver function and hepatic perfusion. Proposed mechanisms of the pineal hormone involve direct inactivation of reactive
The effect of haemorrhage (1 ml per 100 g b. w.) on the vasopressin and oxytocin storage in the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis of melatonin-treated male rats was determined. Melatonin treatment (100 micrograms/100 g b. w., once daily over 8 days) resulted in a known decrease of vasopressin as well
Melatonin improves hepatic perfusion after hemorrhagic shock and may reduce stress-induced gastric lesions. This study was designed to investigate whether pretreatment with melatonin may influence gastric mucosal microcirculatory perfusion (μflow), oxygenation (μHbO2 ), or intestinal barrier
The effect of haemorrhage and melatonin on the vasopressin and oxytocin storage in the neurohypophysis of pinealectomized male rats was determined. Sham operated or pinealectomized rats as well as rats pinealectomized and injected with melatonin (100 micrograms/100 g b. w., once daily over 8 days)
Experimental hemorrhagic stroke causes behavior and locomotor activity with memory impairment and neurological disturbances in rats. These shifts are weaker in the evening hours than after morning testing. The repeated administration of the pineal gland hormone melatonin (melaxen) during one week
d-β-hydroxybutyrate and melatonin (BHB/MLT) infusion improves survival in hemorrhagic shock models. The original BHB/MLT formulation contains dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to increase melatonin solubility. We formulated BHB/MLT solutions wherein DMSO was replaced either with 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone
OBJECTIVE
Melatonin (MLT) is reported to exert uroprotective effect due to its antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties. It is unknown whether that effect also results from melatonin receptor activation, or it is attributed to the modulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Our
The pineal hormone melatonin has been used in clinical trials in patients suffering from AIDS and also as an adjuvant for cancer therapy. Although melatonin has been reported to have beneficial effects in some animal models of immune dysfunction, it remains unknown whether this hormone has any
OBJECTIVE
To assess the therapeutic effect of melatonin on heat-induced acute lung inflammation and injury in rats.
METHODS
Heatstroke was induced by exposing anesthetized rats to heat stress (36 °C, 100 min). Rats were treated with vehicle or melatonin (0.2, 1, 5 mg/kg) by intravenous
Exogenous administration of pineal hormone melatonin (MEL) has been demonstrated to attenuate organ damage in models of I/R and inflammation by antioxidative effects. However, specific organ-protective effects of MEL with respect to hemorrhagic shock have not been investigated yet. In the present
OBJECTIVE
Treatment with a combination of D-β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and melatonin (M) improves survival in hemorrhagic shock models. Our objective was to find the most effective melatonin concentration in combination with 4 molar BHB (4 M BHB). Survival and markers of organ injury were analyzed in
