摘要: The purpose of this study was to examine the seasonal variations melatonin secretion subjects and their surrounding light conditions. Eight Japanese female students (20.1±2.6 yrs, Mean±SD) living in Fukuoka, Japan, participated present study. Saliva samples were collected every 3 hours over course a day, intensity during daily life measured 1 min for 5 days four seasons. Almost all had different secretory profiles autumn, with only two showing similar rhythms peak values calculated by spline interpolation higher autumn than those other seasons (p 1,000 lux at least thirty minutes seasons, there no significant differences among them. relationship between level amount time daytime exposure >1,000 autumn. During season, positive correlation (r=0.83, p<0.05, n=6), except subjects, whose remained low.
