Melatonin Inhibits mTOR-Dependent Autophagy during Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion

Melatonin Inhibits mTOR-Dependent Autophagy during Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion

Background: Autophagy is a self-digestion system responsible for maintaining cellular homeostasis and interacts with reactive oxygen species produced during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Melatonin (MLT) is a potent and endogenous anti-oxidant that has beneficial effects in liver I/R injury. In this st...
