The multiple lines of evidence demonstrate that melatonin exerts powerful antioxidant actions by preventing and
scavenging free radicals in a direct and indirect manner. Importantly, melatonin reduced post-ischemic oxidative/
nitrosative damage to the afflicted neurovascular units and improved the preservation of blood-brain barrier
permeability in various brain diseases. The information compiled here will serve as a comprehensive reference
for the neurovascular protective actions of melatonin to date, and will hopefully help to design further experimental research and expand melatonin as neurovascular protective agent in neurovascular diseases... Read More»
