摘要: Abstract A significant correlation (0.76) has been found between nighttime peak plasma melatonin levels and the 24-h urinary excretion totals for conjugated 6-hydroxy-melatonin a group of 22 women. This study validates comparison hormone or its metabolite to assess pineal gland production in humans.
