Abstract
The authors found a significant negative correlation between human growth hormone (HGH) response to clonidine and urinary free cortisol level in 14 depressed patients. The HGH response did not distinguish endogenous depression from nonendogenous depression.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
