  • Title: Seasonal variation and the results of the dexamethasone suppression test.
    Author: Harris B, Watkins S, Newcombe R, Cook N, Read G, Riad-Fahmy D.
    Journal: J Affect Disord; 1990 Oct; 20(2):115-20. PubMed ID: 2148325.
    Abstract:
    There is controversy over the presence of a circannual rhythm in cortisol values in samples provided by depressed patients after a standard dexamethasone suppression test (DST). Post-DST cortisol values from patients admitted to an acute psychiatric ward over a 2-year period have therefore been analysed by appropriate statistical tests. No evidence was found for significant seasonal variation.
