Postoperative intraabdominal adhesion formation is a major clinical problem. No previous study was found, reporting the relationship between adhesion formation and melatonin administration, but melatonin, a strong antioxidant, is recognized to have certain effects on the progression of adhesion formation mechanism. It was therefore decided to inves...
The thickening of alveolar basement membrane is found in autopsies, along with microvascular pathologies, in Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). To detect the function and permeability of alveolar basement membrane, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and technetium 99m-diethyltriaminepentaaceticacid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) aerosol scintigraphy metho...
Most physiological measurements of the pulmonary diffusing capacity use carbon monoxide (CO) as a tracer gas. Similar to CO, melatonin binds the hemoglobin in the blood.
The present study was designed to assess the effect of exogenous melatonin administration on pulmonary functions including diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)) in health...
Surfactant secreted from type II pneumocytes plays an important role in alveolo-capillary permeability. In thyrotoxicosis, high levels of T3 receptors detected at these cells might affect the alveolo-capillary permeability due to increased serum thyroid hormone levels. The results by CO-diffusion capacity measurement in thyrotoxicosis are conflicti...

... Kemal Ozyahin et al. found signicantly reduced lung epithelial 23 permeability in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, similar to our study. They evaluated 40 participants, out of which 25 were diagnosed cases of diabetes and 15 were healthy controls. ...

... Melatonin, a hormone released from the pineal gland, is a strong scavenger for hydroxyl radicals and other oxygen radicals that are toxic in vivo and in vitro. Its passage to the tissues is quite good due to its lipophilic nature, and it is particularly effective on the hydroxyl radical, which is the most toxic radical [15][16][17]. Some studies have reported that melatonin acts by capturing the superoxide of an indole-derived metabolite and also enhances SOD mRNA expression. ...
