The overlap between REM sleep latency and DST response was investigated in a group of 117 mildly depressed outpatients. No significant correlation between these two biological markers could be evidenced. The MMPI profile of the DST suppressors was clearly different from the non-suppressors' profile indicating a more severe clinical condition at that moment. REM sleep latency did not contribute to the psychological and clinical subtyping of this depressive sample.
在一组117名轻度抑郁门诊患者中，研究了快速眼动睡眠潜伏期与地塞米松抑制试验（DST）反应之间的重叠情况。这两种生物学指标之间未发现显著相关性。DST抑制者的明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）剖面图与非抑制者的剖面图明显不同，表明当时临床状况更严重。快速眼动睡眠潜伏期对该抑郁样本的心理和临床亚型划分没有影响。
