Nocturnal plasma melatonin concentration was significantly increased in ten normal volunteers following the administration of an alpha 2 adrenoceptor antagonist, Org 3770 (30 mg). This result supports the existence of an alpha 2 adrenergic influence on melatonin secretion in man and provides a possible clinical neuroendocrine marker of the action of an alpha 2 antagonist.
在10名正常志愿者服用α2肾上腺素能受体拮抗剂Org 3770(30毫克)后,夜间血浆褪黑素浓度显著升高。这一结果支持了α2肾上腺素能对人体褪黑素分泌有影响的观点,并为α2拮抗剂的作用提供了一种可能的临床神经内分泌标志物。
