The daily pattern of the major urinary metabolite of melatonin, 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), was determined in women prior to having a breast biopsy. Women with malignant tumors appeared to have significantly lower 24 h concentrations of aMT6s with a decrease in the amplitude of the rhythm compared to women with benign tumors. The amount of urinary aMT6s was dependent upon the age of the subject but was not affected by either menopausal status or body mass index. However, when the women with malignant tumors were compared with a large group of normal women of the same age their aMT6s levels were not outside the normal range. The results show that a large control group and very accurate age matching are essential when investigating melatonin production in different groups of subjects.
