Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is often used to increase muscle strength and functionality. Muscle architecture is important for the skeletal muscle functionality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of NMES applied at different muscle lengths on skeletal muscle architecture.

- The study investigated how melatonin affects antioxidant levels and brain cell death (apoptosis) in rats that had their pineal gland removed (pinealectomy).
- Male Wistar rats were used, divided into three groups: control, pinealectomized, and pinealectomized with melatonin treatment for three months. Findings measured enzymes related to oxidative stress in brain tissue.
- Results showed that pinealectomy led to increased oxidative damage and cell death in the hippocampus, but melatonin treatment reversed these negative effects, suggesting its protective role against oxidative stress.
This study investigated the protective effects of melatonin against formaldehyde-induced oxidative damage and apoptosis in rat testes. A total of 21 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Group I was used as a control, Group II was injected every other day with formaldehyde for 1 month, whereas Group III was injected every other day with formaldehyde and melatonin for 1 month.
