- W2008059968 abstract "Sleep has a stimulatory effect on prolactin secretion. Recent studies in the human suggest the hypothesis that prolactin has also an endogenous sleep-independent rhythm, which can be influenced by endogenous melatonin. To investigate this hypothesis, the prolactin response to nighttime exposure to bright light was studied in eight women in detail. Light exposure induces a decrease in nocturnal melatonin secretion. It was demonstrated that exposure to bright light for 2 h at night caused a decrease in prolactin secretion, which surpassed significantly the decline one would expect by sleep deprivation only (P < 0.01). This was associated with a similar decline in melatonin secretion. Fall and rise of prolactin secretion under these conditions were always preceded by decrease and rise in melatonin levels in all eight women studied. Based on these observations, it is concluded that melatonin is associated with an endogenous circadian component of prolactin secretion. As specific melatonin receptors have been identified in the human nucleus suprachiasmaticus, which is the “master” circadian pacemaker, the observed phenomenon might be mediated through this structure. An alternative explanation of our findings could be based on the fact that melatonin influences dopamine metabolism, which in turn alters prolactin secretion. It can also not be ruled out that melatonin might act via the opioid system, which then could affect prolactin secretion. The total secretory activity for both hormones (area under the curve) did not change under experimental conditions, when compared to a control group. This suggests that acute light exposure and sleep deprivation influence the secretory process rather than the synthesis of these two hormones. This is in agreement with the observation that changes in natural light exposure throughout the year do alter the amplitude, but not the total amount of melatonin secreted. Further studies are needed to answer the question of melatonin storage definitively, as it is commonly believed that melatonin is immediately released after synthesis. It is concluded that melatonin through its external modulator light might entrain the circadian sleep-independent component of prolactin secretion and via its action on prolactin could modulate reproductive processes." @default.
