Abstract:
The levels of Neurotensin, VIP, Somatostatin, beta-endorphin and Bombesin have been investigated in plasma of 16 depressed and 20 anxious patients. VIP and Neurotensin were found significantly decreased in patients vs a group of 20 controls. Neurotensin levels returned to normal values after recovery. There were no significant differences from the normal in the concentrations of Somatostatin, beta-endorphin and Bombesin in the disease groups.
