Abstract

OBJETIVO: Revisar os achados recentes sobre a relação entre estresse, eixo hipotálamo-pituitária-adrenal e depressão, na tentativa de explicar um endofenótipo de vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento da depressão. MÉTODO: Revisão não sistemática da literatura baseada na hipótese de endofenótipo. RESULTADOS: A depressão está relacionada à hipercortisolemia em muitos pacientes; porém, nem todos os deprimidos apresentam esta alteração na função hipotálamo-pituitária-adrenal. Os primeiros estudos publicados observaram esta hiperativação do eixo hipotálamo-pituitária-adrenal por meio do teste de supressão da dexametasona. Estes resultados não foram largamente replicados em grande parte devido à falta de acurácia desse teste. A hipercortisolemia ocorre freqüentemente em pacientes com depressão grave, do tipo melancólico, psicóticos ou não. Está relacionada a um polimorfismo específico do gene do transportador da serotonina; a história de abuso ou negligência durante a infância ou perda parental precoce; e ao temperamento que resulta em alterações na resposta ao estresse. CONCLUSÕES: As alterações do eixo hipotálamo-pituitária-adrenal dependem de diversos fatores, como gravidade e tipo de depressão, genótipo, história de trauma na infância, temperamento e, provavelmente, resiliência. Todas essas variáveis se relacionam a um endofenótipo vulnerável ao desenvolvimento de depressão.

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.
