Regulation of antioxidant enzymes: a significant role for melatonin.

TL;DR: This report reviews the studies which document the influence of melatonin on the activity and expression of the antioxidative enzymes glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutases and catalase both under physiological and under conditions of elevated oxidative stress and analyses the possible mechanisms by which melatonin regulates these enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurohormone melatonin prevents cell damage: effect on gene expression for antioxidant enzymes.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that melatonin administration decreases the percentage of damaged cells, porphyrin synthesis, and aminolevulinate synthase (ALA‐S) mRNA levels and increases the mRNA levels for manganese superoxide‐dismutase and copper‐zinc superoxide dismutase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin increases gene expression for antioxidant enzymes in rat brain cortex.

TL;DR: Melatonin increases gene expression for antioxidant enzymes in rat brain cortex in a manner similar to that found in humans, according to Munksgaard et al. (1998).
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory actions of melatonin and its metabolites, N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK) and N1-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK), in macrophages.

TL;DR: The present work suggests melatonin and its metabolites as a new class of potential anti-inflammatory agents without the classical side effects due to COX-1 inhibition, andCOX-2 and iNOS as molecular targets for either melatonin or its metabolites AFMK and AMK.
