Melatonin Protects Chronic Kidney Disease Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells against Accumulation of Methylglyoxal via Modulation of Hexokinase-2 Expression

Gyeongyun Go et al.

Summary: The study found that melatonin is able to improve mitochondrial function, glycolytic metabolism, and cell proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells from chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients by inhibiting the increases in hexokinase-2 and methylglyoxal levels. This suggests that identifying metabolic regulators such as hexokinase-2 in CKD may enhance the efficacy of MSCs for treating CKD and other kidney disorders.

Melatonin ingestion before intradialytic exercise improves immune responses in hemodialysis patients

Houssem Marzougui et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of melatonin intake on systemic inflammation and immune responses during intradialytic exercise in hemodialysis patients. Results showed that melatonin prevented the decrease in NK and CD8(+)T-lymphocytes, increased the proportion of CD4(+)T-lymphocytes, and decreased the proportion of CD14(++)CD16(+)Monocytes in peripheral blood during HD therapy. This suggests that melatonin intake alone or combined with intradialytic exercise has potential immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory effects.
