Sažetak rada
Background: Given the growing challenges posed by an ageing population, particularly in Western countries, we aimed to investigate the potential geroprotective effects of resveratrol and melatonin in ageing rats. Methods: The animals were treated with these two compounds starting at 3 months of age and continuing until 1 year or 2 years of age. Using a multibiomarker approach, we assessed DNA damage, telomere length, and the oxidative status in their urine, liver, and kidneys. Results: Despite employing this experimental approach, our results did not provide conclusive evidence of geroprotective effects across the evaluated organs. However, we observed sex-dependent differences in response to treatment. Conclusions: Given the high potency of these two compounds, further research is warranted to explore their incorporation into daily routines as a strategy to mitigate ageing-related effects.
