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. The estimated sleep duration and phase shift of melatonin release as well as the DMLO offsets at 25% and 50% relative thresholds are the key characteristic of Angelman syndrome children. …”
