  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In mature rats under natural light and constant light, epitalon decreased pancreatic amylase activity, whereas melatonin increased it.

    In plain wordsIn mature rats, epitalon lowered pancreatic amylase activity, while melatonin raised it.

    Summary
    Melatonin use entails pancreatic amylase activity increase in mature animals in natural light of the North-West of Russia (NL) and 24-hour constant light (LD) and on the contrary amylase activity drops in case of using epitalon.
