several interleukins (i.e., IL-1, IL-6 and IL-10) play a chief role within this phenomenon [4]. The lung is the organ which is affected initially, and sepsis leads to severe injury in lung tissue [5]. It has been shown that pericytes in lung tissue produce proinfla[r]

Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine), a pineal neurohormone and a deriva-tive of serotonin, is critically involved in the regulation of important biologicalfunctions including circadian rhythms, sleep, mood, and pain (El Shenawy et al.,2002; Sugden, 1983; Zeng et al., 2008).[r]
