Abstract
Melatonin may have neuroprotective potential in cerebrovascular diseases.
- Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is associated with vascular dementia.
- Mitophagy, the process of removing damaged mitochondria, is a key factor in neuroprotection.
- The effects of melatonin on mitophagy in the context of vascular dementia are not fully understood.
