Abstract :Effects of melatonin on the levels of antioxidant enzymes including catalase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAT);, peroxidase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(POD);, glutathione reductase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GRd);, and malondialdehyde insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MDA);, a lipid peroxidation marker, in erythrocytes of rainbow trout insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Oncorhynchus mykiss); were investigated. The results showed that melatonin statistically activated the CAT, POD, and GRd activity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.05);. Moreover, MDA levels were significantly decreased as a result of melatonin treatment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01);.
