Decreased plasma adiponectin concentration in major depression.
Adiponectin is the most abundant adipose-derived plasma protein. Recently adiponectin levels have been linked to most variables of metabolic syndrome and conventional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, its relation with major depression is yet unclear. We evaluated plasma adiponectin levels in 32 first-episode drug-naïve major depression (DSM-IV-TR) patients without conventional ...
متن کاملPlasma Triglyceride Concentration and Plasma Free Fatty Acid Changes in Response to Norepinephrine in Man.
Hypertriglyceridemia is frequently observed in subjects with coronary artery disease and is particularly common in young males (1, 2). A number of factors undoubtedly contribute to the increased levels of plasma triglycerides; among these, the role of exogenous dietary fat has been established (3). The magnitude of endogenous triglyceride synthesis has not been measured in patients with hypertr...
متن کاملIncreased plasma norepinephrine accompanies persistent tachycardia after hydralazine.
To determine the role of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system in the persistent tachycardia caused by the antihypertensive drug hydralazine, we examined the temporal relationships between the changes in heart rate and plasma norepinephrine concentration and the reduction in blood pressure produced by a range of doses of hydralazine administered intravenously to five hypertensive patients. ...
متن کاملPlasma norepinephrine concentration and plasma dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity in patients with congestive heart failure.
The relationship between plasma norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity (DBH) was studied in 90 cardiac patients (New York Heart Association [NYHA] classes I-IV), 85 healthy control subjects and 18 competitive skiers. The cardiac patients in NYHA classes III and IV had significantly higher NE (p less than 0.001) and lower DBH (p less than 0.001) levels than t...
متن کاملPost-psychotic depression in schizophrenia.
Although a depressive state is known to occur following the resolution of an acute psychotic episode, little research has investigated its etiology, course, prognosis and treatment. Very often the depression is mistaken for an extrapyramidal-like syndrome--the secondary effect of antipsychotic medication--as a sense of inevitability assails both the patient and therapist. Post-psychotic depress...
