We compared unipolar depressed patients (N = 32) with normal controls (N = 38) for their prolactin responses on the thyrotropin releasing hormone test. Depressed patients showed prolactin responses similar to sex matched controls. Among the depressed patients there were no significant differences for prolactin response between those with or without a blunted thyroid stimulating hormone response, dexamethasone suppressors or nonsuppressors, or between melancholic and nonmelancholic depressive subgroups.
我们比较了单相抑郁症患者(N = 32)和正常对照组(N = 38)在促甲状腺激素释放激素试验中的催乳素反应。抑郁症患者的催乳素反应与性别匹配的对照组相似。在抑郁症患者中,促甲状腺激素反应迟钝或正常者、地塞米松抑制试验阳性或阴性者、忧郁性和非忧郁性抑郁亚组之间的催乳素反应无显著差异。
