title: [Dexamethasone suppression test in endogenous depression and schizophrenia in male and female patients].
abstract: Dexamethasone Suppression Test was performed during an acute phase in 81 patients with endogenous depression and 105 schizophrenic patients. The lack of suppression of cortisol was found in 1/3 if those ill with depression and 1/3 of those ill with schizophrenia. A relationship between those results and age was shown in female schizophrenic patients. In both groups a yearly rhythm was observed, however female patients differed from male patients.
