Blood LH results. Above, the means and 95% confidence intervals of blood luteinizing hormone are shown in mIU/ml. For the morning melatonin, evening melatonin, and placebo groups, both the initial and final samples are illustrated, with a line representing the direction of change. Below, the changes from first to last sample are plotted as filled circles for each subject, ranging from 54% decrease to a 49% increase. Note that although the dispersion of change scores was much smaller for blood than for urinary measures of LH, the small sample sizes for blood LH provided weaker power to contrast groups.
