...t evaluating the role of melatonin in extender for its cryoprotective effect on post-thaw quality of buffalo bull semen. For this purpose, two consecutive ejaculates were collected from three Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls using artificial vagina at weekly intervals for a period of three weeks (three replicates). Qualifying semen ejaculates were diluted (50×106 motile spermatozoa ml-1) in tris citric acid extender with melatonin<...

...t inhibits production of melatonin (MLT) from pineal gland which results in abnormal epigenetic changes that relates with an increased risk of BC. The most important ALAN-mediated epigenetic changes include methylation of DNA and acetylation of histone, which are significant for growth, development and progression of BC. DNA hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands inhibits transcriptional activity by methyltransferase enzyme which results in inactivation of t...

...xytryptophan (5-HTP) and melatonin (MLT) in the plasma of sheep. Eighteen sheep were assigned randomly to three diet groups (n = 6). The treatment groups included control (CT, corn-soybean meal basal diet), CT + 111 (CT + 111 mg/kg BW RPT 5-HTP), and CT + 222 (CT + 222 mg/kg BW RPT 5-HTP) groups. The experiment lasted for 16 d. On the 16th day of the experiment, blood samples from the sheep were collected at 0 h before feeding and at 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and...

...rmed on the role of oral melatonin and N-acetylcysteine on reducing the hepatic adverse effects of Remdesivir, we decided to conduct this clinical trial study. In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial study, 70 patients with Covid-19 in Besat Hospital, Tehran, Iran, during 2022, were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 35 each. Both groups were administered Remdesivir with same protocol. In this period, the first group received N...

...stress (OS). Conversely, melatonin (MEL) has been considered as an antidepressant, anxiolytic substance and protects neurons from OS. The present study was designed to evaluate the neuroprotection effect of MEL against Al neurotoxicity and OS in male Wistar rats. Rats received an intraperitoneal and/or a single intrahippocampal injection of NaCl, MEL or AlCl3. Before two weeks of intrahippocampal surgery period, MEL (4 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected (Gr...

One day old, 400 Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into five random groups, with each group being quadruplicated and 20 birds allocated to each replication. Melatonin was supplemented in the G1 control group. G2 received 10 mg of melatonin per kg of diet, G3 received 20 ...

Ten domesticated non-pregnant cats of known origin aged between 1-3 years were used. The cats were divided randomly into two groups. The first group (G1, n=5) was left without treatment and served as control group, and the second group (G2, n=5) was administered 18 mg melatonin implants as a single-dose ...

...ne with chemical formula melatonin as C13H16N2O2. It is a versatile molecule with the speciality to lessen salt stress on the plant. However, mechanism of melatonin which is involved in salt stress mitigation is still under inspection of plant scientists. For the purpose, this research was carried out and the effects of melatonin priming was searched out viz., hydro-priming (HP), 500, 1000...
