Prolactin secretion response to TRH stimulation in acute and chronic schizophrenic patients under neuroleptic treatment.

Prolactin (PRL) serum levels in a group of patients with acute schizophrenia (AS) and in a group of patients with chronic schizophrenia (CS) have been investigated in order to differentiate the dopaminergic sensitivity in response to chlorpromazine (CPZ) treatment. AS patients show both a greater dopaminergic sensitivity to CPZ and a stronger response in PRL secretion to TRH stimulation after a 14-day CPZ treatment.

The dexamethasone suppression test in delusional depression. Further findings.

The results of the overnight 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) administered to 26 unipolar delusional depressed patients and 47 unipolar non-delusional depressed controls are reported. There were no significant differences between the rates of abnormal responses in the two groups. However, there was a higher percentage of normal responses in the delusional depressive sample with mood incongruency. While 55% of the mood-congruent depressive patients were non-suppressors, only 12% of the depressed patients with mood-incongruent psychotic features had abnormal DST responses.
