Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Some effects of jet-lag and their alleviation by melatonin

Notas: 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 rhythmsRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 30, nº 9, September 1987 ; p. 1379-1393Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Aviones Biorritmos Ritmo circadiano Neurobiología Metabolitos Análisis estadístico Otros autores: Arendt, J.
