A review of GHRH stimulation test in psychiatry.

Abstract:

:We critically reviewed controlled investigations of the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulation test in depression, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, panic disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. Comparisons of GH responsiveness between patients and controls within each diagnostic category were equivocal and in some cases contradictory. Factors that may contribute substantially to the inconsistent findings within diagnostic categories include (1) the variability of GHRH-simulated GH among control groups; (2) the lack of uniformity in test procedures and outcome measures; and (3) the age and gender of subjects. In addition, the individual reproducibility of the GHRH stimulation test has not been adequately investigated and until the test's stability within subjects can be determined, the validity of interpretations resulting from the GHRH simulation test are in question.

  • Neonatal intrahippocampal immune challenge alters dopamine modulation of prefrontal cortical interneurons in adult rats.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Among the diverse animal models proposed for schizophrenia, the neonatal ventral hippocampal lesion (NVHL) is one of the most widely used. However, its construct validity can be questioned because there is no evidence of a lesion present in schizophrenia. Other approaches that have tried to capture environme...
