Quick Summary

In this randomized crossover study, supplementation with melatonin had no effect on dietary fat intake or biomarkers that were predictive of type 2 diabetes risk in female night workers with overweight or obesity.

What was studied?

The effect of supplemental melatonin on the predicted risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), as measured using dietary fat intake and biological markers.

The outcomes used to estimate T2D risk included blood concentrations of glucose, insulin, and HbA1c. Additionally, HOMA-IR was computed from fasting glucose and fasting insulin values and used as an indicator of T2D risk.
