Some effects of jet-lag and their alleviation by melatonin / J. Arendt... [et al.]
Sumario: Seventeen healthy volunteers were flown from London to San Francisco and remained there for 14 days prior to flight home. Subjects took melatonin or placebo in a double-blind design, at 18.00h local time for three days before the return flight and at bedtime in Great Britain for four days. These data suggest that MT can alleviate jet-lag after Eastward flight over eight time zones. Presumably its affects are primarily on sleep latency, quality, and directly or indirectly on some hormonal rhythms
