Metabolic syndrome and cortisol/DHEAS ratio in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cortisol/DHEAS ratio has been found to predict different health outcomes. We examined the association between cortisol/DHEAS ratio and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The only subcomponent of MetS positively associated with the cortisol/DHEAS ratio was diastolic blood pressure. Possible reasons for this finding, as well as study limitations, are discussed.

Earlier studies have used the dexamethasone (DEX) suppression test (DST) to investigate the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) function in schizophrenia, although the findings are controversial. Recently there has been an increased interest in the role of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS) in HPA axis function. Several studies have investigated basal DHEA(S) levels and corti...

متن کاملDHEAS and cortisol/DHEAS-ratio in recurrent depression: State, or trait predicting 10-year recurrence?
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with low dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS), - particularly relative to high cortisol - although conflicting findings exist. Moreover, it is unclear whether low DHEAS is only present during the depressive state, or manifests as a trait that may reflect vulnerability for recurrence. Therefore, we longitudinally tested whether lo...
