Methods
Study setting
411
Romo-Nava et al.
single randomization procedures (computerized
random numbers generated by one investigator,
AF-O) with a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive daily
either a 5-mg presentation of slow-release melatonin (Cronocaps; Productos Medix, S.A. de C.V.,
Mexico City, Mexico) or a physically identical
placebo capsule to be administered orally at
20:00 hours.
Melatonin
administration
at
20:00 hours during the duration of the study had
the purpose of favoring regular sleeping schedules.
This prolonged release presentation has a delivery
system that allows 12 hours of slow release of
melatonin with a Tmax = 2.7 0.7 hours (Tmax:
the time after administration of a drug when the
maximum plasma concentration is reached) and a
t1/2 = 1.5 0.7 hours (t1/2: the period of time
required for the concentration or amount of drug
in the body to be reduced to one-half of a given
concentration or amount) (unpublished bioavailability study, Productos Medix, S.A. de C. V.).
Therefore, a more physiological melatonin distribution is expected if it is administered two hours
before bedtime. Similar administration schedules
have been reported with positive results (20). The
dose was maintained until the end of the followup period (eight weeks). Changes in SGA types
were prohibited throughout the study, but dose
adjustments were allowed and documented. SGAs
were classied as high risk (clozapine and olanzapine) or medium risk (quetiapine and risperidone)
according to their risk for inducing metabolic disturbances. Psychotropic drug administration other
than the prescribed study medication and the
SGAs, such as antidepressants, hypnotics, or
mood stabilizers, were permissible if clinically
indicated. All concomitant medication use was
recorded.

Fig. 2. Blood pressure and metabolic eects of melatonin treatment. (A) Patients who were randomized to receive melatonin showed
a decrease in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) versus the placebo group ( 5.1 versus 1.1 mmHg, respectively; p = 0.003). Melatonin
showed a particularly benecial metabolic eect in patients with bipolar disorder in terms of mean changes in DBP (B) (5.5 mmHg
versus 5.7 mmHg for the placebo and melatonin groups, respectively; p = 0.001), fat mass (C) (2.7 versus 0.2 kg, respectively;
p = 0.032), and triglycerides (D) (50.1 versus 20 mg/dL, respectively; p = 0.08) which was not observed in the schizophrenia group.
Graphs show comparisons using Students t-test. *Statistically signicant results (p < 0.05).
(SD = 6.4) versus 2.8 (SD = 5.0) mmHg, respectively]. In ANCOVA model 4, no other signicant
dierences were observed.
Other similar ANCOVA models using baseline
BP, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, BMI, and
current antidepressant treatment as eects of interest were employed, and no signicant ndings were
observed.
SGA metabolic risk. Patients treated with mediumrisk SGAs showed a signicant dierence in mean
change in diastolic BP between those treated with
placebo and melatonin (1.8 versus 4.6 mmHg,
respectively; p = 0.008). Patients treated with highrisk SGAs showed signicant dierences between
the placebo and melatonin groups in mean change
in lean mass (0.8 versus 2.7 kg, respectively;
p = 0.007) and total body water (0.6 versus 2.0 kg,
respectively; p = 0.008).
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder groups. In the
bipolar disorder group, signicant dierences
between the placebo and melatonin groups in mean
change in fat mass percentage (2.8 versus 0.03%,
respectively; p = 0.004), fat mass (2.7 versus
0.2 kg, respectively; p = 0.032), and diastolic BP
(5.5 versus 5.7 mmHg, respectively; p = 0.001)
were observed, and a trend was observed for mean

baseline circadian rhythm disturbance and metabolic vulnerability associated with these disorders
could be exacerbated by SGA treatment. We propose that the SGA-induced metabolic adverse
eects are generated at least in part by alteration
of the functioning of hypothalamic structures
which disturbs the central regulation of metabolism, while SGAs also modulate other neurotransmitter systems and achieve therapeutic eects.
The observation that melatonin attenuates fat
mass increase, decreases diastolic BP, and possibly reduces mean changes in triglycerides in
patients with bipolar disorder but not schizophrenia suggests that melatonin may help to re-establish a damaged circadian rhythm in bipolar
disorder, but may be less eective in restoring the
function of the biological clock in schizophrenia.
Knowledge is scarce regarding the central eect
of SGAs and their relationship to adverse metabolic eects. It has been reported that antipsychotics have dierential eects in hypothalamic
