"The objective of this study was to test the effect of melatonin on thermal pain threshold in female patients with eating disorders."7.71Pain modulation role of melatonin in eating disorders. ( Nedvídková, J; Papezová, H; Yamamotová, A, 2001)
"To discern whether the multiple neuroendocrine-metabolic dysfunctions observed in women with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are associated with altered diurnal variations in serum melatonin profiles, we compared cycling and amenorrheic women with normal weight BN (n = 8) and AN (n = 7) to 21 normal cycling controls."7.68Melatonin rhythms in women with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. ( Laughlin, GA; Mortola, JF; Yen, SS, 1993)
"Urinary excretion of the principal melatonin metabolite, sulphatoxy melatonin (aMT6s), was assessed both during the day and during the night in 38 female eating disorder patients (anorexia nervosa, n = 17; bulimia nervosa, n = 12; anorexia nervosa + bulimia nervosa, n = 9) and 14 female control subjects."7.68Sulphatoxy melatonin: an index of depression in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. ( Brown, GM; Garfinkel, PE; Kennedy, SH; McVey, G; Parienti, V, 1990)

( Brown, GM; Garfinkel, PE; Kennedy, SH; McVey, G; Parienti, V, 1990)
"Disturbances were studied in the nocturnal circadian pattern of serum melatonin and plasma cortisol levels in 33 female patients with an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa, n = 11; bulimia nervosa, n = 12; or both, n = 10) and in ten female control subjects of comparable age."3.67Changes in melatonin levels but not cortisol levels are associated with depression in patients with eating disorders. ( Brown, GM; Costa, D; Garfinkel, PE; Kennedy, SH; Parienti, V, 1989)
