Daily Rhythm in Human Urinary Melatonin
Abstract
The melatonin in urine samples from six healthy adult volunteers was concentrated on Amberlite XAD-2 resin, eluted with organic solvents, and quantitated by use of a bioassay technique (the dermal melanophore response of larval anurans to melatonin in their bathing medium). The melatonin content of samples collected between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. was, in each case, several times higher than that of samples collected between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. or between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
