The Effect of four-day round trip flights over 10 time zones on the circadian variation of salivary melatonin and cortisol in airline flight attendants / M. Härmä... [et al.]

Sumario: The aim of the present work was to study the effects of transmeridian flights on the circadian rhythms of salivary melatonin (MT) and cortiso (COR) during a four day round flight across ten time zones. Salivary hormone measurements offered a non-invasive way to follow the adaptation of the circadian rhythm in field conditions
