Abstract

The function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-axis) and its association with clinical features in chronic schizophrenia were investigated. Twenty of 33 chronic schizophrenics exhibited an abnormal diurnal variation of the saliva cortisol level. The patients with abnormal diurnal variation gave higher scores for some negative symptoms than those with normal diurnal variation. On the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) of saliva samples, 13 of 34 chronic schizophrenics were abnormal. The patients with DST nonsuppression were more frequently classified into disorganized type and exhibited low scores of anxiety compared with the patients with normal suppression. The 9 patients who showed abnormal diurnal variation and DST nonsuppression were more frequently classified into disorganized type and showed higher scores of negative symptoms than the 9 patients who did not show any abnormal cortisol data. These results suggest that there might be some disturbance in the function of the HPA-axis in a group of chronic schizophrenics and that these patients might have severe negative symptoms.

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.
