Abstract:
:A decreased secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been implicated in depression. In order to further investigate this hypothesis, we studied the plasma level of the specific peptidergic carrier of AVP, vasopressin neurophysin (hNpI), in 26 depressed inpatients and 16 matched normal controls. On the other hand, AVP has also been involved in the pathophysiology of the cortisol postdexamethasone nonsuppression frequently observed in depression. Therefore, we investigated concomitantly hNpI and cortisol during a dexamethasone (DXM) suppression test. hNpI and cortisol were assessed by radioimmunoassay at 8 AM and 8 PM during 4 consecutive days. From days 2 to 3, 4 mg (DXM) was given orally. hNpI values were not affected by DXM administration. Compared with controls, patients showed higher pre- and post-DXM cortisol values and lower hNpI values. No difference in hNpI values was observed between DXM escapers or nonescapers. Our results are consistent with an impaired AVP secretion in depression and fail to support a role of AVP in the early cortisol escape.
