Continuous light and L-NAME-induced left ventricular remodelling: different protection with melatonin and captopril

Abstract

Only captopril reduced left ventricular hypertrophy, whereas captopril and melatonin reduced left ventricular hydroxyproline concentrations in soluble and insoluble collagen, respectively. The total hydroxyproline concentration was reduced only by melatonin.
