“ Melatonin + RSV showed a synergistic increase in the expression levels of HO‐1 protein but not in the HO‐1 mRNA level compared to either melatonin or RSV alone, which is mediated by the activation of PI3K‐Akt pathway.”
“These data suggest that melatonin potentiates the neuroprotective effect of RSV against oxidative injury, by enhancing HO‐1 induction through inhibiting ubiquitination‐dependent proteasome pathway, which may provide an effective means to treat neurodegenerative disorders.”
