An update on the use of melatonin as a stroke therapeutic

G S Gonzales-Portillo et al. Minerva Med. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Delivery of melatonin and targeting melatonin receptors pose as neuroprotective strategies for stroke therapy. The potential of melatonin-based therapeutics for clinical application in stroke patients requires translational research to guide the conduct of clinical trials. We review recent preclinical and clinical data that support the use of melatonin for stroke.
