Abstract:
The results of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) were compared to levels of 24-hour 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) in 60 patients with unipolar depression. DST nonsuppressors had significantly higher levels of MHPG than did DST suppressors. The possible implications of this finding are discussed.
