Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Elevated nocturnal melatonin is found in women with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), but it is not known whether this is implicated in the etiology of their GnRH deficiency."7.70Elevated nocturnal melatonin is a consequence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone deficiency in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea. ( Di, WL; Djahanbakhch, O; Kadva, A; Monson, J; Silman, R, 1998)
"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the opioid system and the estrogen environment in the nocturnal secretion of melatonin in women with secondary amenorrhea (SA)."7.69Enhanced nocturnal melatonin secretion in women with functional secondary amenorrhea: relationship to opioid system and endogenous estrogen levels. ( Okatani, Y; Sagara, Y, 1995)
"To examine the role of melatonin in pathological hyperprolactinemia we compared untreated young females (N = 5) with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea owing to pituitary microadenoma to healthy female controls (N = 6)."7.69Nocturnal melatonin and luteinizing hormone rhythms in women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea. ( Lavi, S; Lavie, P; Luboshitzky, R; Thuma, I, 1996)
"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)."7.67Amplification of nocturnal melatonin secretion in women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. ( Berga, SL; Mortola, JF; Yen, SS, 1988)

( Okatani, Y; Sagara, Y, 1995)
"Nocturnal serum melatonin concentrations were determined in 20 women with SA, 5 women with endometriosis showing normal menstrual cycles and 11 volunteers with normal menstrual cycles."3.69Amplification of nocturnal melatonin secretion in women with functional secondary amenorrhoea: relation to endogenous oestrogen concentration. ( Okatani, Y; Sagara, Y, 1994)
