Journal Article 2001; 22(2): 137-141 PubMed PMID: 11335890 Citation  Keywords:  Adult, Circadian Rhythm, Female, Humans, Hydrocortisone:secretion, Male, Melatonin:secretion, Pineal Gland:secretion, Prolactin:secretion, Reference Values, Schizophrenia:physiopathology,.

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have suggested the involvement of the pineal gland and its main hormone melatonin (MLT) in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disturbances, namely the depressive syndrome. In contrast, the behavior of MLT secretion in schizophrenia is still controversial.

MATERIAL & METHODS: The present st.....
