Neuroprotective effects of melatonin on olfactory dysfunction: evidence from a 3-methylindole–induced anosmia model
Key Points
Evaluating the therapeutic effects of melatonin on olfactory dysfunction caused by chemical injury.
Utilized a 3-methylindole-induced anosmia model
Administered melatonin to assess its effects on olfactory function
Measured olfactory responses post-treatment
Melatonin treatment showed significant improvement in olfactory function
Indicated potential safety and effectiveness for olfactory dysfunction therapy
Abstract
These findings highlight melatonin's potential as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for the treatment of olfactory dysfunction following chemical injury.
