    Abstract

    A possible mechanism underlying cardiovascular morbidity after major vascular surgery may be the perioperative ischaemia-reperfusion with excessive oxygen-derived free-radical production and increased levels of circulating inflammatory mediators. We examined the effect of melatonin infusion during surgery and oral melatonin treatment for 3 days after surgery on biochemical markers of oxidative and inflammatory stress.
