Excerpt

We have read with great interest the article by Afkhamizadeh et al. [1] entitled “Morning melatonin serum values do not correlate with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study” in which they report morning serum melatonin levels are increased in rheumatoid arthritis, but these findings do not correlate with disease activity. In their paper, authors report that disease duration, season of sampling, medications, disease activity and gender did not influence morning melatonin levels. In this regard, we would like to make some additions to the paper in respect to interpretations of biochemical markers and study design. …
