Antioxidative Effects of Melatonin in Protection Against Cellular Damage Caused by Ionizing Radiation

1 Oct 2000

Abstract excerpt

Ionizing radiation is classified as a potent carcinogen, and its injury to living cells is, to a large extent, due to oxidative stress. The molecule most often reported to be damaged by ionizing radiation is DNA. Hydroxyl radicals (*OH), considered the most damaging of all free radicals generated in organisms, are often responsible for DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. Melatonin,...
