Reduced plasma LH concentration in postmenopausal depressed women

N Altman, EJ Sachar, PH Gruen, JS Halpern and S Eto

Mean plasma LH concentration in postmenopausal women suffering unipolar depressive illness was 33% less than that of normal postmenopausal women (P less than 0.05). Since LH secretion after menopause is probably noradrenergically regulated, the finding provides support for the hypothesis of a functional noradrenaline deficit in depression.
