Мелатонин – главный гормон эпифиза. Регулируя циркадианные ритмы,  являясь иммуннорегулятором и антиоксидантом, данный гормон принимает участие в работе яичников: его высокие концентрации блокируют апоптоз и нейтрализуют активные формы кислорода, участвующие в фолликулогенезе, овуляции, созревании яйцеклетки и образовании желтого тела.</p></sec><sec><title>ЦЕЛЬ</title><p>ЦЕЛЬ. Изучить мелатониновый статус и его взаимосвязь с менструальной дисфункцией и нарушениями сна у пациенток репродуктивного возраста с ожирением.</p></sec><sec><title>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ</title><p>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. В одномоментном сравнительном исследовании приняли участие женщины 18-35 лет: 30 пациенток с ожирением и нарушениями менструальной функции неорганического характера и 30 здоровых женщин группы сравнения с нормальным весом и регулярным менструальным циклом. Все участницы прошли анкетирование для выявления сомнологических нарушений, а также был исследован уровень мелатонина в слюне и 6-сульфатоксимелатонина в моче.</p></sec><sec><title>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ</title><p>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. В группе пациенток с ожирением (n=30) в 47% случаев встречались различные нарушения сна (р=0,003), в том числе чаще регистрировали синдром обструктивного апноэ сна (30% случаев), а также была обнаружена корреляция между показателями анкетирования субъективных характеристик сна и индексом массы тела пациенток (r=0,450, p=0,030) по сравнению с группой здоровых женщин с нормальным весом (n=30). В основной группе уровень мелатонина в слюне оказался статистически значимо ниже по сравнению с контролем: медиана 12,6 пг/мл и 25,5 пг/мл, соответственно (р=0,008), та же закономерность была зарегистрирована для 6-сульфатоксимелатонина: 14,72 пг/мл и 31,12 пг/мл, соответственно.</p></sec><sec><title>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ</title><p>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Пациентки с ожирением и менструальной дисфункцией чаще страдают различными нарушениями сна и имеют более низкие показатели мелатонина в слюне и 6-сульфатоксимелатонина в моче.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>BACKGROUND</title><p>BACKGROUND: Melatonin is the main hormone of the pineal gland. By regulating circadian rhythms and being an immune regulator and antioxidant, this hormone takes part in the work of the ovaries: its high concentrations block apoptosis and neutralize reactive oxygen species involved in folliculogenesis, ovulation, egg maturation and corpus luteum formation.</p></sec><sec><title>AIM</title><p>AIM: To study melatonin status and its relationship with menstrual dysfunction and sleep disorders in obese women of reproductive age.</p></sec><sec><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>MATERIALS AND METHODS. In a one-stage comparative study, women 18-35 years old took part: 30 patients with obesity and menstrual disorders of an inorganic nature and 30 healthy women in the comparison group with normal weight and regular menstrual cycle. All participants underwent a questionnaire to identify somnological disorders, and the level of melatonin in saliva and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in urine was also investigated.</p></sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title><p>RESULTS: In the group of patients with obesity (n=30), various sleep disorders were encountered in 47% of cases (p=0.003), including more often obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was recorded (30% of cases), and a correlation was found between the indicators of the questionnaire survey of subjective sleep characteristics and body mass index of patients (r=0.450, p=0.030) compared with a group of healthy women with normal weight (n=30). In the main group, the level of melatonin in saliva was statistically significantly lower than in the control: median 12.6 pg / ml and 25.5 pg / ml, respectively (p=0.008), the same pattern was recorded for 6-sulfatoxymelatonin: 14, 72 pg / ml and 31.12 pg / ml, respectively.</p></sec><sec><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>CONCLUSION: Patients with obesity and menstrual dysfunction are more likely to suffer from various sleep disorders and have lower levels of melatonin in saliva and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in urine.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group
