Melatonin Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Small-Intestine Injury by Upregulating SIRT3-Mediated Oxidative-Stress Inhibition, Mitochondrial Protection, and Autophagy Induction

Melatonin reportedly alleviates sepsis-induced multi-organ injury by inducing autophagy and activating class III deacetylase Sirtuin family members (SIRT1–7). However, whether melatonin attenuates small-intestine injury along with the precise underlying mechanism remain to be elucidated. To investig...
