Plasma postdexamethasone cortisol levels in schizoaffective disorder.
The degree of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation in depressed patients with schizoaffective disorder was compared to that seen in patients with major depressive disorder with and without delusional features. The frequency of nonsuppression to dexamethasone was similar for all three diagnostic groups. Maximum postdexamethasone plasma cortisol was greater for delusional depre...
متن کاملMultiple depressive episodes and plasma postdexamethasone cortisol levels.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is dysregulated in many patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). To determine whether or not a past history of depressive episodes is associated with this dysregulation, we studied the relationships among number of past depressive episodes, number of previous hospitalizations for depression, and number of years since first depressive episode a...
متن کاملPlasma amisulpride levels in schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
The atypical antipsychotic drug amisulpride is a benzamide with specific antagonistic properties, which target dopamine D(2) and D(3) receptors, preferentially in the limbic system. Amisulpride is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, distributed to all body systems with little binding to plasma proteins. Elimination occurs mainly through the kidneys as unchanged drug. In contrast, ...
متن کاملPostdexamethasone plasma cortisol and beta-endorphin levels in depression: relationship to severity of illness.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is dysregulated in many patients with depression, probably at all levels of the axis. To determine if HPA dysregulation is associated with severity of depression, we studied a group of 66 patients with major depressive disorder. Each patient underwent a pretreatment Dexamethasone Suppression Test, with plasma postdexamethasone cortisol determination...
متن کاملA cross-sectional evaluation of adiponectin plasma levels in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
BACKGROUND In recent years, several studies showed increased rates of hyperglycaemia, diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome as well as cardiovascular disease in schizophrenic patients. The underlying mechanism, however, is poorly understood. Adiponectin is a recently identified adipocyte-derived protein, with low adiponectin levels being associated with metabolic abnormalities such as obes...
