Abstract

Background Melatonin has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and anxiolytic properties. However, the relationship between endogenous melatonin levels and postoperative analgesic requirements has not been well elucidated in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. We studied endogenous melatonin levels, cortisol levels, body temperatures, and the relationship between the level of endogenous melatonin and postoperative morphine consumption.
