I noticed this contradicts a point made in VRP's melatonin article Part 3 
(available online) as follows.

"Other research has shown that melatonin's antioxidant action has 
a narrow range, with very low and very high levels resulting in 
prooxidant effects. - O. Ianas, R. Glinescu, I. Badescu, Endocrinologie  
1991; 29: 147-153."

Unfortunately I do not have easy access to the study cited, care to
comment? Silly question, I know.
