Abstract
Nocturnal plasma melatonin concentration was significantly increased in ten normal volunteers following the administration of an alpha 2 adrenoceptor antagonist, Org 3770 (30 mg). This result supports the existence of an alpha 2 adrenergic influence on melatonin secretion in man and provides a possible clinical neuroendocrine marker of the action of an alpha 2 antagonist.Entities:
