Uncoupling of social zeitgebers and diurnal cortisol secretion in clinical depression

Stetler, Cinnamon, Dickerson, Sally S., Miller, Gregory E.·2004·Psychoneuroendocrinology

Abstract

Daily activities (zeitgebers) such as waking, eating, and exercising, done alone or in the presence of others, may help to entrain biological rhythms. To examine whether the relationship between zeitgebers and biological rhythms is altered in depression, this study tracked daily activity and cortisol secretion in 50 depressed and 50 control participants using a daily diary methodology. The groups reported similar levels of regular daily activities. Among control participants, regular daily activities were associated with a normative decline in cortisol secretion. Among depressed participants, daily activities and cortisol secretion were unrelated, consistent with the hypothesis that these activities are less able to entrain diurnal rhythms. This lack of social entrainment may underlie some of the circadian disturbances in depression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
