Plasma cortisol level was measured 7 times between 3 and 5 pm in 34 inpatients with major depression and 25 controls. 1 mg of dexamethasone per os was administrated the day before a 11 pm. The maximum, minimum, mean and range of cortisol concentration were calculated. All these parameters were statistically significantly higher in the depressed group.
