BACKGROUND: Lately, there have been suggestions that bone mass changes occurring in postmenopausal women may remain related to melatonin.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between the dynamic pattern of nighttime levels of melatonin and chosen biochemical markers of bone metabolism in ovariectomized rats--a m.....
