The authors measured serum samples of melatonin at 11:00 p.m. in 28 patients suffering from major depression. Melatonin secretion was inversely correlated with the depressed mood and reality disturbance factors of the Hamilton Depression Scale. These results are consistent with previous reports of low melatonin syndrome in a subgroup of depressed patients.
作者于晚上11点测量了28名重度抑郁症患者的褪黑素血清样本。褪黑素分泌与汉密尔顿抑郁量表中的抑郁情绪和现实障碍因素呈负相关。这些结果与先前关于部分抑郁症患者存在低褪黑素综合征的报道一致。
