; ischemia-reperfusim injury
Since the frequency of ischemia/reperfusion increases with advancing age and endogenous melatonin levels drop during the same interval, the findings have obvious implications for the elderly. Finally, the evidence presented makes a strong argument for the use of melatonin in organ transplantation, a procedure which generates large numbers of toxic free radical and related reactants.
