TL;DR: The results indicate that the melatonin may be beneficial in the treatment of newborn infants with asphyxia, and the protective actions of melatonin in this study may relate to the antioxidant properties of the indole as well as to the ability ofmelatonin to increase the efficiency of mitochondrial electron transport.

TL;DR: Following melatonin administration, nitrite/nitrate levels decreased significantly, whereas they remained high and increased further in the respiratory distress syndrome infants not given melatonin.

TL;DR: Severely asphyxiated newborn infants reflect relevant ischaemic electro- cardiographic changes, depressed left ventricular function and marked cardiac enzyme increase, which are far less pronounced in neonates with mild respiratory distress.

TL;DR: This is the first evidence that the membrane-permeable, radical scavenger tempol reduces the cerebral injury caused by transient, cerebral ischemia in vivo.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the administration of antithrombin III during the first 2 days of life does not decrease incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage.
