title: Further light on the tyramine test in depression.
abstract: In studies of post-partum women, the oral tyramine loading test is shown to be of predictive value in identifying those subjects with a lifetime history of depressive illness. The cause of the decreased output of conjugated tyramine, after tyramine ingestion, is still unclear. Some possible mechanisms have been under scrutiny.
