- Melatonin in plants (2008, background): “Being antioxidant, MEL scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) more effectively than vitamin E and glutathione, it also regulates the activity of the antioxidant enzymes such as peroxidases (POX), glutathione reductase (GSSG-R) but also of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) (Cardinali and”
- Regulation of antioxidant enzymes: a significant role for melatonin (2004, background): “scavenger of a variety of radical and non-radical reactants [37, 41].”
- Melatonin: a multitasking molecule. (2010, background): “For additional details on the antioxidant activity of the melatonin, the reader is invited to consult several recent reviews (Allegra et al., 2003; Hardeland et al., 2009; Reiter et al., 2009a).”
