The effect of melanin on the proteolytic potential of blood under alkali esophageal burn

Abstract: Caustic esophageal burns are among serious medical problems of global significance. Due to a key role in biological processes proteolytic enzymes actively involved in the pathological mechanisms underpinning the development and progression of burn-related complications. Since melanin possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities we have investigated whether this compound can influence the proteolytic activity and level of proteinase inhibitors in the blood of rats with an alkali esophageal burn.
