| Core Tip |
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic condition of the liver that is characterized by inflammation, steatosis, and formation of fibrotic tissue that impair liver function. Several studies have demonstrated the relationship between oxidative stress and the development of different diseases. As oxidative stress can damage lipids, proteins, and DNA, causing changes in cell homeostasis, it is important to study therapeutic substances that can minimize or delay the effects of the disease. Hepatotoxic drugs are commonly used as an experimental model to assess different stages of liver disease. Melatonin was used in this work as a therapeutic strategy and showed hepatoprotective action in a chronic hepatotoxicity model. |
