background: during the detorsion of a torsioned ovary, oxidant agents are released and melatonin as an antioxidant can reduce ischemia. we studied the histopathological changes after using melatonin on experimental torsioned ovary in cat. objective: the aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of melatonin on histopathological changes in torsion – detorsion injury in cat ov...

Oxidative stress is known to be one of the major factors involved in the development and progression of cancer. Oxidative stress can occur due to an imbalance between concentrations of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant capacities. Catalase (CAT; OMIM 115500) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1; OMIM 147450) play important roles in the primary defense against oxidative stress. In the present ...
