The authors studied the TSH and prolactin responses to a standard 500-micrograms thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test in 12 patients with panic disorder and 10 control subjects. As a group, panic disorder patients had lower mean TSH and prolactin responses, and female patients accounted for the lower prolactin response. The clinical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
作者对12例惊恐障碍患者和10名对照受试者进行了促甲状腺激素（TSH）和催乳素对标准500微克促甲状腺激素释放激素（TRH）刺激试验的反应研究。作为一个群体，惊恐障碍患者的平均TSH和催乳素反应较低，且女性患者的催乳素反应较低。本文讨论了这些发现的临床和理论意义。
