Abstract
The authors measured pituitary adrenocortical responses to human corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in 10 patients with a major depressive episode and 10 matched control subjects. Depressed patients had a significantly lower aldosterone and ACTH release, but cortisol and corticosterone responses were not different between groups.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
