摘要
Jet lag is an ill-defined phenomenon resulting from rapid transmeridional flight and is considered to be due to desynchronization of circadian rhythms. The role of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, in the synchronization of biological rhythms has raised interest in its use to alleviate jet lag. Indeed, recent studies support the use of this well-tolerated drug as a remedy for jet lag on long-haul flights.
