Streptozotocin (stz)
Streptozotocin (STZ) is a chemical compound used in research applications. It is a cytotoxic agent that primarily targets and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. STZ is commonly used in animal models to induce experimental diabetes for research purposes.

Streptozotocin and Melatonin in Neuroprotection
streptozotocin (STZ; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc,. Califórnia, EUA).
Melatonin (MEL; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).
The dose and hour of administration of melatonin (dose of 10 mg/kg) were based on previous studies that described its neuroprotective effects (Luengo et al., 2019 ; Rong et al., 2020 ; Omeiza et al., 2021 ). It was dissolved in propylene glycol and diluted in saline, resulting in a final ratio of 5:95 propylene glycol/saline. The final concentration of suspended melatonin was 10 mg/ml, which was infused intraperitoneally (i.p). The control groups received 1 ml/kg of a 5% propylene glycol saline solution.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
