Ferroptosis of neurons is a significant cause of brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). As an iron-containing compound in hemoglobin, heme contributes to nerve injury post-ICH. Melatonin has been shown to mitigate the effects of ICH, yet its specific functions remain largely elusive. In this study, we aimed to explore the roles and mechanisms of melatonin in heme-induced ferroptosis subsequent to ICH.
