    AbstractA significant correlation (0.76) has been found between nighttime peak plasma melatonin levels and the 24-h urinary excretion totals for conjugated 6-hydroxymelatonin for a group of 22 women. This study validates the comparison of plasma levels of the hormone or urinary levels of its metabolite to assess pineal gland production of melatonin in humans.
