“…Melatonin is synthesized by the pineal gland, retina, gastrointestinal tract, etc, and is secreted by the pineal gland. Several studies show that melatonin acts as a potent antioxidant in the body [18][19][20][21] . The present study is an attempt to find out whether the administration of melatonin prevents MTX induced oxidative stress and renal damage in rat model.…”

“…Of other studies in vitro a DNA-repair test in Salmonella typhimurium TA 1538 and TA 1978 was positive (Benigni et al, 1979). Of the studies in vivo, mouse micronucleus tests conducted by Prabakaran and Moorthy (1998), Melchiorri et al (1998) and Ortiz et al (2000) were all positive, whereas that reported by Pena, Mesquita, and C o olus (1999) was negative. Mouse dominant lethal tests reported by Pasi et al (1974) and Anderson, McGregor, and Purchase (1976) were negative.…”

“…Além disso recuperou os níveis de glutationa reduzida (GSH) hepática e pulmonar, bem como elevou a DL50 dos ratos de 75mg/kg para 251 mg/kg de PQ (Melchiorri et al 1995(Melchiorri et al , 1996. Ortiz et al (2000) observaram que após a administração de MLT na dose de 10mg/kg em ratos expostos ao PQ (20mg/kg) houve redução significativamente de micronúcleos em células do sangue periférico e de medula óssea. Esse mesmo resultado foi observado por Melchiorri et al (1998).…”
