J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of melatonin on the immune system of immunosuppressed male Wistar rats by measuring levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6), total leucocyte counts (TLC), and different types of white blood cells.
- Experiments involved treating groups of rats with cyclophosphamide and melatonin over a specified period and assessing the immune responses through blood tests.
- Findings indicated that melatonin significantly increased IL-6 and TLC levels, suggesting it may help enhance immune functions in immunosuppressed states compared to other immunomodulators.
