Agomelatine inhibits platelet aggregation through melatonin receptor-dependent and independent mechanisms

44 views | Oct 25 2023

In this study, agomelatine was found to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen, suggesting its potential to prevent atherothrombotic ischemic events by reducing thrombus formation and vessel occlusion. [Read the Full Post]

Insights into the antioxidative mechanisms of melatonin in ameliorating chromium-induced oxidative stress-mediated hepatic and renal tissue injuries in male Wistar rats

125 views | Feb 06 2023

Melatonin has been shown to protect against chromium-induced oxidative damage in liver and kidney tissues by preserving organ weight, intracellular antioxidant enzymes, and reducing tissue chromium content, oxidative stress biomarkers, and pro-oxidant enzyme activities through its antioxidant and metal-chelating activity.

Melatonin activates mitochondrial unfolded protein response to preserve osteogenic potential of senescent BMSCs via upregulating PDI-6

96 views | Feb 06 2023

PDI-6, a regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis, is a target for melatonin in the treatment of age-related osteoporosis due to its ability to enhance osteogenic differentiation in senescent BMSCs, which has decreased function, by rescuing mitochondrial function and being a downstream effector of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

The HDAC Inhibitor LAQ824 Enhances Epigenetic Reprogramming and In Vitro Development of Porcine SCNT Embryos.

1495 views | Dec 13 2017

Optimum exposure (100 nM for 24 h) to LAQ824 post-activation improved the in vitro development of porcine SCNT embryos by enhancing levels of H3K9 and H4K12, reducing 5-mC, and regulating gene expression. [Read the Full Post]

Melatonin alleviates inflammasome-induced pyroptosis through inhibiting NF-κB/GSDMD signal in mice adipose tissue

1675 views | Dec 13 2017

Liu Z et al. revealed a novel function of melatonin on adipocyte pyroptosis, suggesting a new potential therapy for melatonin to prevent and treat obesity caused systemic inflammatory response. [Read the Full Post]
