Biochemical and histopathological evaluation of the radioprotective effects of melatonin against Gamma ray-induced skin damage in rats.

Conclusion: Melatonin can be successfully used for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced skin injury. We recommend the use of melatonin in optimal and safe doses. These doses should be administered over a long period of time for effective radioprotection and amelioration of skin damages as well as improving the therapeutic ratio of radiotherapy.
