"Levels of the melatonin metabolite, 6-hydroxymelatonin sulfate, were measured in overnight urine from 31 prepubertal children with major depressive disorder and 15 normal control children with very low family loading for affective disorder."7.68Nocturnal urinary excretion of 6-hydroxymelatonin sulfate in prepubertal major depressive disorder.

" There was no change in alpha MT6s excretion, and thus the previously reported potentiation of the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants in combination with T3 does not appear to be mediated through an alteration in noradrenergic neurotransmission."1.28A study of the effects of desipramine treatment alone and in combination with L-triiodothyronine on 6-sulphatoxymelatonin excretion in depressed patients. ( Arendt, J; Bearn, J; Checkley, SA; Franey, C, 1989)
