AMPLIFICATION OF NOCTURNAL MELATONIN SECRETION IN WOMEN WITH FUNCTIONAL HYPOTHALAMIC AMENORRHEA

Berga, S.L., Mortola, J.F., Yen, S.S.C.·1988·The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

Plasma melatonin levels were determined by a sensitive RIA at 30 min intervals for 24h in 7 women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) and in 7 age and season matched normal cycling women in the early follicular phase (NC). While daytime melatonin concentrations were nondetectable in both groups, the integrated nocturnal levels were 3-fold greater in HA (244 +/- 58 (SE) vs 74 +/- 32 pmol-min/Lx10(3), p less than 0.005). This melatonin increase in HA was due to an elevated peak amplitude (p less than 0.01) and extended duration (p less than 0.05). The latter was mostly due to a significant delay in the offset time of the amplified nocturnal melatonin secretion.

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.
