Background: Hormonal instability is linked to inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) through common pathways. Thyroid hormones have been found to play a major part in the antioxidant balance among many hormonal factors, since OS has been linked to both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in humans and animals. A number of research studies have demonstrated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties of melatonin receptor agonist Ramelteon (RML). Accordingly, the aim of the current study was to examine the potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of RML on OS induced by thyroid dysfunction (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism) in a rat model
