Increases total antioxidant capacity
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Findingreplicated ×2“After 4 h of the first melatonin administration (20:00), the serum of the melatonin patients was more protected against oxidant insults, displaying a significantly higher antioxidant capacity with respect to the placebo controls.”
