Evaluation of the radioprotective effects of melatonin against ionizing radiation-induced muscle tissue injury.

CONCLUSION: Melatonin can improve biochemical, electrophysiological and morphological features of irradiated gastrocnemius muscle tissues.Our recommendation is that melatonin should be administered in optimal dose. For effective protection of muscle tissues, and increased therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy, this should be done within a long period of time. PMID: 30806333 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
