The relationship between serum cortisol and fasting blood sugar levels in 39 female patients with endogenous depression was studied. Serum cortisol levels were determined in two post-dexamethasone blood samples during the dexamethasone suppression test. There were no significant differences between the blood sugar levels of suppressors (patients with low serum cortisol level) and non-suppressors (patients with high serum cortisol level). There was no correlation between the serum cortisol levels and blood sugar values in these two groups either. Although numerous reports claim to have found a relationship between endogenous depression and diabetes mellitus, our data do not imply a direct relationship between serum cortisol and blood glucose levels of endogenously depressed patients.
对39名内源性抑郁症女性患者的血清皮质醇与空腹血糖水平之间的关系进行了研究。在地塞米松抑制试验期间，于两份地塞米松给药后的血样中测定血清皮质醇水平。抑制者（血清皮质醇水平低的患者）和非抑制者（血清皮质醇水平高的患者）的血糖水平之间无显著差异。这两组患者的血清皮质醇水平与血糖值之间也无相关性。尽管有大量报告称已发现内源性抑郁症与糖尿病之间存在关联，但我们的数据并不表明内源性抑郁症患者的血清皮质醇与血糖水平之间存在直接关系。
