Article Synopsis
- Melatonin shows potential as a treatment for toxoplasmosis by reducing parasite proliferation in infected monkey kidney cells (LLC-MK2), without affecting host cell viability.
- The study demonstrated that melatonin treatment led to observable changes in parasite morphology and signs of cell death in Toxoplasma gondii.
- These findings support the idea that melatonin could be developed into new therapies with fewer side effects for treating toxoplasmosis.
