Melatonin and Angelman Syndrome: Implications and Mathematical Model of Diurnal Secretion by Justyna Paprocka, Marek Kijonka, Piotr Wojcieszek, Marcin Pęcka, Ewa Emich-Widera, Maria Sokół

“…The characteristics describing the diurnal hormone secretion such as minimum melatonin concentration, release amplitude, phase shift of melatonin release, and sleep duration as well as the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) of melatonin secretion and the γ shape parameter allow analyzing the fit and deducing about how much the measured melatonin profile differs from a physiological bell-shaped secretion. …”

Proposed reference intervals of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels in older Japanese populations by Tsuyoshi Isojima, Akira Shimatsu

“…Measurements of serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels are useful surrogate markers for the diagnosis and management of patients with growth hormone-related disorders. We have previously published normative data of serum IGF-1 levels for the Japanese population aged 0–77 years by combining and analyzing previously reported references, which were separately and independently constructed, to properly reflect data in the transition period. …”

The silent pandemic of stress: impact on menstrual cycle and ovulation by Mariam Saadedine, Sarah L. Berga, Stephanie S. Faubion, Chrisandra L. Shufelt

“…Functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is a spectrum ranging ranging from regular menstrual cycles with short or insufficient luteal phases to irregular cycles, oligomenorrhea, anovulation, and complete amenorrhea, depending on how stress variably disrupts gonadotropic-releasing hormone (GnRH) drive. Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA), the most severe manifestation, is a complex global neuroendocrinopathy with several serious health consequences in addition to amenorrhea and infertility. …”
