Urine 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels are inversely associated with arterial stiffness in post-menopausal women

Our study revealed an inverse relationship between urine aMT6s and arterial stiffness as determined by CAVI. Although it is impossible to determine causality, our results suggest that melatonin may have a beneficial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Further prospective studies are required to establish the clinical significance of our study.
