The influence of melatonin on the prooxidant–antioxidant balance in 18 to 21 year-old males with a low-level physical state at submaximal physical exertion is considered. The studied group took melatonin 3 mg once a day for 2 months. As a result of taking melatonin after physical exertion, there is a decrease in the activity of processes of peroxide oxidation of lipids and a high level of antioxidant protection in the blood plasma and erythrocytes, which diminishes the manifestations of the oxidative stress and maintains the prooxidant–antioxidant balance of an organism.
