claimWe found that subjects with MDD had significantly decreased N-acetylaspartate (NAA; Hedges' g = -0.16, 95% CI -0.299 to -0.030, p = 0.017), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA; Hedges' g = -0.26, 95% CI -0.434 to -0.082, p = 0.004), and increased levels of glutamine (Gln; Hedges' g = 0.21, 95% CI 0.105 to 0.311, p < 0.001) in the ACC.

claimSubgroup analyses suggested significantly increased NAA detected by magnets stronger than 1.5 Tesla only, glutamate (Glu) in the dorsal ACC only and significantly increased myo-inositol (mI) and choline (Cho) in exclusively unmedicated subjects.

topicInositol Insomnia Meta-Analysis
claimConclusion Available evidence suggests that melatonin-containing supplements may be associated with improved BMD in menopausal women, but the independent effect of melatonin and an optimal dose remain unclear due to heterogeneity in interventions and the prevalent use of combination therapies.
