Figure 1

The melatonin secretion model. The solid line shows the curve-shaped function approximating the melatonin secretion with the following parameters: b1 is the melatonin release amplitude; b2 is DLMO50E; b3 is the minimum melatonin concentration; and dotted line is the minimum melatonin concentration level.
