ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Of 15 patients with disappearing effectiveness of melatonin, seven were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and in four of them a SNP was found."7.79CYP1A2 polymorphisms in slow melatonin metabolisers: a possible relationship with autism spectrum disorder? ( Braam, W; Curfs, L; Didden, R; Keijzer, H; Smits, M; Struijker Boudier, H, 2013)
"Of 15 patients with disappearing effectiveness of melatonin, seven were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and in four of them a SNP was found."3.79CYP1A2 polymorphisms in slow melatonin metabolisers: a possible relationship with autism spectrum disorder? ( Braam, W; Curfs, L; Didden, R; Keijzer, H; Smits, M; Struijker Boudier, H, 2013)
"Melatonin treatment was mainly effective in reducing insomnia symptoms, while cognitive-behavioural therapy had a light positive impact mainly on sleep latency, suggesting that some behavioural aspects might play a role in determining initial insomnia."2.77Controlled-release melatonin, singly and combined with cognitive behavioural therapy, for persistent insomnia in children with autism spectrum disorders: a randomized placebo-controlled trial. ( Cortesi, F; Giannotti, F; Panunzi, S; Sebastiani, T; Valente, D, 2012)
"Melatonin is an endogenous neurohormone produced predominantly in the pineal gland."2.50Melatonin in autism spectrum disorders. ( Frye, RE; Rossignol, DA, 2014)
"Identifying and treating sleep disorders may result not only in improved sleep, but also impact favorably on daytime behavior and family functioning."2.46Sleep in children with autistic spectrum disorder. ( Cortesi, F; Giannotti, F; Ivanenko, A; Johnson, K, 2010)
" In endogenous samples, maximal melatonin concentration (C(max)) and time to peak concentration (T(max)) were comparable to those previously published in the literature for typically developing children, and dim light melatonin onsets were captured in the majority of children."1.40Melatonin in children with autism spectrum disorders: endogenous and pharmacokinetic profiles in relation to sleep.
