Chronobiological aspects of sleep disorders in menopausal women: the role of melatonin (literature review)

The aim of this review is analyze the literature data on the role of the circadian system key element - melatonin in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle in menopausal women. It is shown that the melatonin level defined in a variety of biological fluids (blood, saliva, urine) depends on age, sex,...
