Effects of Ischemia/Reperfusion on ß Cells of Pancreas and Protective Effects of Melatonin Treatment
Oxygen free radicals are considered to be important components involved in the pathophysiological tissue alterations observed during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). In this study, we investigated the putative protective effects of melatonin treatment on pancreatic I/R injury. Sprague Dawley male rats we...
