Abstract Preterm infants cannot counteract excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production due to preterm birth, leading an excess of lipid peroxidation with malondialdehyde (MDA) production, capable contributing brain damage. Melatonin (ME), endogenous hormone, and its metabolites, act as a free radical scavenger against ROS. Unfortunately, preterms have impaired antioxidant system, resulting in the inability produce release ME. This prospective, multicenter, parallel groups, randomized,...
