Abstract

Investigated the contribution of age, sex, panic disorder comorbidity, and levels of cortisol and prolactin in mediating the immune alterations found in major depressive episodes (MDEs) among 30 women and 25 men (mean age 43 yrs). Almost half of the Ss also had panic disorder. 55 age- and sex-matched Ss served as controls. Levels of cortisol and prolactin were elevated in female and younger Ss with MDE and in Ss with MDE and panic disorder. Prolactin levels, but not cortisol levels, were elevated in Ss with MDE alone. A significant positive correlation was found in Ss with MDE between cortisol plasma levels and total lymphocyte mitogen response, absolute T suppressors, and cells activated by dihydrotestosterone receptors.
