The human growth hormone response to clonidine: relationship to clinical and neuroendocrine profile in depression
RJ Dolan and SP Calloway
The authors found a significant negative correlation between human growth
hormone (HGH) response to clonidine and urinary free cortisol level in 14
depressed patients. The HGH response did not distinguish endogenous
depression from nonendogenous depression.
