Melatonin, an antioxidant, protects the human placental syncytiotrophoblast against hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced oxidative stress and the subsequent mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis damage. These highlight the potential preventive and therapeutic use of melatonin in pregnancy complications characterized by syncytiotrophoblast survival alteration.65
