Article Synopsis
- The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is crucial for eye health by protecting photoreceptors and removing waste during light exposure.
- Melatonin enhances the expression of key proteins like prohibitin and β-tubulin, affecting the RPE's cytoskeletal structure and aiding in oxidative stress protection.
- The study suggests melatonin could be a promising treatment for ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration by promoting healthier RPE cell morphology and function.
