| Core Tip |
The experimental model of secondary biliary cirrhosis, by ligation of the main bile duct, mimics the clinical situation, with biochemical, enzymatic, histological changes, and similar biological, inflammatory, genotoxic markers and oxidative stress triggers. Melatonin, used as an antioxidant therapeutic agent, has been shown to be effective in reversing the changes caused at different levels due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective action, including a reduction in DNA damage, with significant improvement and future therapeutic potential. |
