We report a therapeutic effect of melatonin in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Melatonin treatment reduces the expression of IL-17 and the infiltration of Th17 cells in central nervous system.
Melatonin upregulates the expression of IL-10 via enhances the secretion of IL-27 in dendritic cells in the spleen.
The expressions of inflammatory chemokines and IL-6 in the spinal cord are reduced under melatonin treatment.
