Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Here, we examined the evening onset of melatonin secretion, an important hormone for the initiation of sleep, in people with a complete cervical (tetraplegia) and thoracic (paraplegia) SCI, and age- and sex-matched able-bodied control participants."3.78Complete absence of evening melatonin increase in tetraplegics. ( Atkinson, G; Groothuis, JT; Hopman, MT; Jones, H; Nyakayiru, J; Thijssen, DH; Thompson, A; Verheggen, RJ, 2012)
"However, in subjects with tetraplegia the melatonin levels are blunted."2.87Normalization of disrupted clock gene expression in males with tetraplegia: a crossover randomized placebo-controlled trial of melatonin supplementation. ( Bertolucci, C; Dahm, A; Frigato, E; Iversen, PO; Kostovski, E; Mowinckel, MC; Sandset, PM; Savikj, M; Skretting, G; Østerud, B, 2018)
"Six men with long-standing complete tetraplegia were included in a randomised placebo-controlled cross-over study with melatonin supplementation (2 mg, 4 consecutive nights), whereas six healthy, able-bodied men served as controls."2.80Reduced peak, but no diurnal variation, in thrombin generation upon melatonin supplementation in tetraplegia. A randomised, placebo-controlled study. ( Dahm, A; Iversen, PO; Kostovski, E; Mowinckel, MC; Sandset, PM; Skretting, G; Stranda, A; Østerud, B, 2015)
"Eight individuals with tetraplegia, having an absence of endogenous melatonin production and the presence of a sleep disorder."2.79Randomized controlled trial of pharmacological replacement of melatonin for sleep disruption in individuals with tetraplegia. ( Kiratli, BJ; Ku, B; Ota, D; Zeitzer, JM, 2014)
"Recently, we reported that tetraplegia is associated with a blunted release of melatonin in the evening."1.40Within-subject correlations between evening-related changes in body temperature and melatonin in the spinal cord injured. ( Atkinson, G; Eijsvogels, TM; Groothuis, JT; Hopman, MT; Jones, H; Nyakayiru, J; Thijssen, DH; Thompson, A; Verheggen, RJ, 2014)
"Melatonin production was absent in the three tetraplegic subjects with injury to their lower cervical spinal cord and was of normal amplitude and timing in the two paraplegic subjects with injury to their upper thoracic spinal cord."1.31Absence of detectable melatonin and preservation of cortisol and thyrotropin rhythms in tetraplegia. ( Ayas, NT; Brown, R; Czeisler, CA; Shea, SA; Zeitzer, JM, 2000)
