It regenerates other oxidized antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, is involved in the repair of peroxidized lipids and in the maintenance of sulfhydryl moieties of proteins in the reduced form
Beside its well-known action as circadian regulator of physiological and neuroendocrine function, MEL and its metabolites possesses potent antioxidant properties by scavenging free oxygen metabolites and inducing the expression of antioxidant enzymes
