Melatonin and Structurally-Related Compounds Protect Synaptosomal Membranes from Free Radical Damage

Melatonin and Structurally-Related Compounds Protect Synaptosomal Membranes from Free Radical Damage

Since biological membranes are composed of lipids and proteins we tested the in vitro antioxidant properties of several indoleamines from the tryptophan metabolic pathway in the pineal gland against oxidative damage to lipids and proteins of synaptosomes isolated from the rat brain. Free radicals we...
