“…[4] As OHP is the main determinant of collagen content within tissue, a correlation exists. [30] In the present study, higher levels of OHP were observed in the treatment group at all times, and significantly higher collagen deposits were also observed. BPs measured on the 7 th postoperative day were significantly higher in treated rats.…”

“…[31] Similarly, Ozdogan et al found no beneficial effect of exogenous melatonin on colonic anastomosis. [30] On the other hand, Ozen et al reported that melatonin had a dose-independent positive effect on wound healing of colonic anastomosis in the presence of peritonitis. The authors found significantly higher burst pressure and glutathione levels in rats treated with a high dose of melatonin.…”

BACKGROUND:The present objective was to identify effects of early melatonin application on healing of anastomotic wound and inflammation in an experimental sepsis model. METHODS: A total of 60 Wistar albino rats were divided into 2 groups. Cecal ligation puncture (CLP) and colonic resection anastomosis were performed on both the control group and the melatonin treatment group. Both groups were divided into 3 subgroups consisting of 10 rats each. One subgroup from each group underwent re-laparotomy at the 16 th hour, the next on the 3 rd day, and the final subgroup on the 7 th day. Presently evaluated were effects of melatonin treatment of early sepsis on interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon gamma (INF-γ), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, as well as burst pressures (BPs), collagen and hydroxyproline (OHP) content of the anastomotic segments, histopathologic healing, immunohistochemical expressions, CD34, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). RESULTS: IL-6 and INF-γ levels of the treatment group showed a significant decrease at the 16 th hour and an increase on the 3 rd and 7 th postoperative days. IL-10 levels were significantly higher at the 16 th hour and significantly lower on the 3 rd and 7 th postoperative days in the control group (p<0.001 for each). The treatment group also showed significantly higher capillary permeability, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen deposits (p<0.001 for each). CD34 expression was significantly increased in the treatment group on the 7

“…However, there are contradictory reports on melatonin in the literature. Some researchers believe that melatonin exerts a protective effect on wound healing, whereas others are completely opposed to the idea [8,10,25,26] . In light of our results, we share the same belief as other authors who support melatonin's positive effect on wound healing.…”

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of melatonin on intestinal anastomosis in the presence of peritonitis. Material and Methods: 32 Wistar albino rats were randomized into four groups (n = 8): A (sham), B (control), C (melatonin 5 mg/kg), and D (melatonin 10 mg/kg). In group A, only cecal dissection was carried out. In the other groups, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) followed cecal dissection in order to induce bacterial peritonitis. 24 h after the previous operation, cecal resection and iliocolic anastomosis were performed in the rats of all groups. In group C (5 mg/kg) and group D (10 mg/kg), melatonin was injected for 5 consecutive days starting after CLP. At the 48th hour of the CLP procedure, blood was drawn via the tail vein for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) analysis, and on the 4th day of the experiment relaparotomy was carried out for bursting pressure (BP) measurements. The intestinal tissue containing the anastomotic line was then snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80°C for determination of tissue levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH). Results: The tissue MDA level, blood TNF-α and IL-6 levels of group B were significantly higher than in the other groups, whereas the BP results and GSH levels of group B were found to be significantly lower than in the other groups. The results of groups C and D are statistically different from those of group B. When we compared the results of groups C and D, we found significantly higher results in terms of BP and GSH levels in group D and also significantly lower results in terms of MDA, blood TNF-α and IL-6 levels in group D. Conclusion: The findings of this experiment suggest that melatonin has a dose-independent positive effect on wound healing of colonic anastomosis.
