Key result
Melatonin significantly reduced blood pressure, alleviated oxidative injury, and improved left ventricular function in rats with renovascular hypertension.
Why the study?
Does melatonin improve cardiovascular function and ameliorate tissue damage in rats with renovascular hypertension?
Does melatonin improve cardiovascular function and ameliorate tissue damage in rats with renovascular hypertension?
Melatonin protects against renovascular hypertension-induced tissue damage and improves cardiac function in a rat model, suggesting potential therapeutic utility in preventing oxidative stress due to hypertension.

Hypothesis-generating for melatonin in renovascular hypertension rat models; leaves open clinical translation pending human trials.
Erşahin et al. (2009) studied Renovascular hypertension. Melatonin vs. Vehicle was evaluated on Blood pressure, left ventricular function, and oxidative stress markers. Melatonin significantly reduced blood pressure, alleviated oxidative injury, and improved left ventricular function in rats with renovascular hypertension.
