Abstract | The vascular endothelium is vital in maintaining cardiovascular health by regulating vascular permeability and tone, preventing thrombosis, and controlling vascular inflammation. However, when oxidative stress triggers endothelial dysfunction, it can lead to chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This happens due to oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory responses, and reduced levels of nitric oxide. These factors cause damage to endothelial cells, leading to the acceleration of CVD progression. Melatonin, a natural antioxidant, has been shown to inhibit oxidative stress and stabilize endothelial function, providing cardiovascular protection. The clinical application of melatonin in the prevention and treatment of CVDs has received widespread attention. In this review, based on bibliometric studies, we first discussed the relationship between oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction and CVDs, then summarized the role of melatonin in the treatment of atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other CVDs. Finally, the potential clinical use of melatonin in the treatment of these diseases is discussed. |
