TOWARD A BIOCHEMICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DEPRESSIVE-DISORDERS .7. URINARY FREE CORTISOL AND URINARY MHPG IN DEPRESSIONS
TOWARD A BIOCHEMICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DEPRESSIVE-DISORDERS .7. URINARY FREE CORTISOL AND URINARY MHPG IN DEPRESSIONS AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY ROSENBAUM, A. H., Maruta, T., Schatzberg, A. F., Orsulak, P. J., Jiang, N. S., Cole, J. O., Schildkraut, J. J. 1983; 140 (3): 314-318Abstract
The authors measured urinary free cortisol and urinary 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) levels in 24 severely depressed patients and 22 normal control subjects. Urinary free cortisol levels were significantly higher in the depressed patients than in the control subjects, but mean urinary MHPG levels were not significantly different in these two groups. A very high positive correlation between urinary MHPG levels and urinary free cortisol levels was found in the depressed patients but not in the control subjects.
