Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclic-3-hydroxymelatonin (C3HOM), a potent antioxidant, scavenges free radicals and suppresses oxidative reactions.

Dun Xian Tan, +4 more
- 31 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: C3HOM is found to be a more potent antioxidant than melatonin or vitamin C in terms of its ability to scavenge the hydroxyl radical (HO.) and to recover oxidized horseradish peroxidase to its ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of melatonin in the epigenetic regulation of breast cancer

Ahmet Korkmaz, +3 more
- 29 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: The oncostatic properties of melatonin as they directly or indirectly involve epigenetic mechanisms of cancer are reviewed with a special focus on breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin reduces lipid peroxidation and tissue edema in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats.

Wenbo Qi, +7 more
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: Melatonin's protective effects in cerulein-treated rats presumably relate to its radical scavenging ability and to other antioxidative processes induced bymelatonin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial actions of melatonin in the management of viral infections: a new use for this "molecular handyman"?

José Antonio Boga, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Clinical trials have shown that melatonin is efficient in preventing cell damage under acute and chronic states, and its properties as a potent antioxidant and antioxidant enzyme inducer, a regulator of apoptosis and a stimulator of immune functions support the use of melatonin in viral infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential actions of melatonin in protecting the ovary from oxidative damage.

Maria Helena Coelho Cruz, +4 more
- 15 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: The functional role of reactive species and the cytoprotective properties of melatonin on the ovary from oxidative damage are summarized in this brief review.
