Oxidative damage to nuclear DNA: amelioration by melatonin. NEL Review.

Journal Article 1999; 20(3-4): 145-150 PubMed PMID: 11462105

: The indoleamine melatonin, a product of tryptophan metabolism in the pineal gland, is a free radical scavenger and antioxidant. This brief review summarizes melatonin's ability to protect nuclear DNA from oxidative damage. Using a variety of different cytogenetic, biochemical and molecular biological methods, a number of investigators.....
