  5. Evolution of the plasma concentration of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin

    Time frame: Up to 720 minutes after taking the tablet

    The change in plasma 6-sulfatoxymelatonin concentration

  6. Plasma 6-sulfatoxymelatonin AUC

    Time frame: Up to 720 minutes after taking the tablet

    Area Under the Curve of plasma 6-sulfatoxymelatonin
