Ameliorating effect of melatonin on mercuric chloride-induced neurotoxicity in rats
Mercury is a highly toxic metal. It induces its toxicity via production of reactive oxygen species. Brain tissues are more susceptible to oxidative damage. Melatonin and its metabolites are free radical scavengers. The aim of this work is to elucidate the neuroprotective effect of melatonin on mercu...
