Subjects were exposed to light between 2400 hr and 0100 hr. No significant gender differences were found with both 200 lux (p > 0.1) and 500 lux (p > 0.1) of light. Furthermore the amplitude of the melatonin rhythm was not significantly different with gender. This suggests that at low intensities the melatonin sensitivity to light is not differentially regulated between sexes. | Gov't Doc #: | 9444564 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13567 | Journal: | Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996) | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9444564 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adult Analysis of Variance Circadian Rhythm.radiation effects Female Humans Light Male Melatonin.secretion Middle Aged Pineal Gland.radiation effects Reference Values Secretory Rate.radiation effects Sex Characteristics |
