Abstract
Rate-sensitive inhibition of ACTH release is abnormal in Cushing's disease but uncharacterized in depression. The authors found that two of 10 depressed patients had paradoxical responses, suggesting the existence of a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis abnormality in depression that is independent of dexamethasone suppression test results.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
