Mehmet DEMİR

Dr. Lecturer Mehmet DEMİR is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine, Basic Medical Sciences Physiology. His research focuses on oxidative stress, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on melatonin’s neuroprotective effects and the role of compounds like crocin and honokiol in mitigating organ toxicity.

• Research Trends: Analysis of 15 recent articles reveals consistent investigation into:
• 1. Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease models
• 2. Melatonin’s regulatory role in oxidative stress
• 3. Therapeutic potential of natural compounds (crocin, honokiol)
• 4. Organ-specific toxicity (hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity)
• 5. Molecular mechanisms in inflammation and apoptosis

His work bridges neuroscience and pharmacology, utilizing rat models to explore pathophysiological pathways and antioxidant interventions.
