Noradrenergic function and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in adolescents with major depressive disorder.
Levels of plasma norepinephrine (NE), free 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), and cortisol in adolescents with major depressive disorder (10 girls, 1 boy; mean +/- SD age = 16.4 +/- 1.6 years, range = 14-19 years) did not differ significantly from those in a group of healthy adolescents (17 girls, 12 boys; mean +/- SD age = 15.9 +/- 1.5 years, range = 12-18 years). No correlations were obs...
متن کاملThe Role of the Endocannabinoids in Suppression of the Hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal Axis Activity by Doxepin
Objective(s) The mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remain elusive. The endocannabinoid system (eCBs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the HPA axis activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the eCBs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the HPA axis. Materials and Methods Male Wist...
متن کاملCognitive correlates of hypothalamic – pituitary – adrenal axis in major depression
www.expert-reviews.com ISSN 1744-6651 © 2011 Expert Reviews Ltd 10.1586/EEM.10.79 Alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis function, such as hypercortisolism and reduced feedback sensitivity, have been a prominent finding in neuroendocrine investigations of major depressive disorder (MDD). Cognitive impairments, particularly those concerning attention, memory and executive funct...
متن کاملDiurnal Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Measures and Inflammatory Marker Correlates in Major Depressive Disorder
Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and inflammatory systems is a consistent finding in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Cortisol is often assessed by measurement of the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and/or diurnal cortisol levels. Some methods of cortisol measurement overestimate cortisol concentration due to detection of other glucocorticoids inclu...
متن کاملAnxiety disorders and hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal axis activity Chapter 4
Background Anxiety disorders have been suggested to be linked to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, although results are scarce and inconsistent. No earlier studies have examined consistency of HPA axis findings across several anxiety subtypes and whether associations are state or trait dependent. Our objective was to examine the association between several subtypes of anxiety ...
