Melatonin Exerts Cardioprotective Effects by Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome-Induced Pyroptosis in Mice following Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction- (MI-) induced myocardial damage is mainly attributed to the loss of cardiomyocytes. Pyroptosis is a newly recognized form of programmed cell necrosis that is associated with the progression of MI. Melatonin has been shown to exert cardioprotective effects against cardiac damag...
