Özet
Introduction: Melatonin is a hormone which is known to be a powerful cardioprotective agent due to its free radical-scavenging properties. This study was carried out to evaluate whether melatonin administration prior to irradiation would have a protective effect on cardiac histopathological changes in an experimental rat model.
