Table 4 Mean ± SEM concentration of total protein and albumin in the blood serum in the melatonin, castrated, control, and castrated and melatonin treated (Cast+Mel) groups during the one- month study. Melatonin was administrated to the melatonin and Cast+Mel groups for 1 month

From: Oxidative-antioxidative status and hepatic and renal factors following melatonin administration in castrated and intact dogs
