1 | In order to determine whether blunted prolactin responses to clomipramine challenge is a "state" vs. "trait" marker in depression, we applied this challenge paradigm to 20 patients with Major Depression prior to treatment and at three additional time points following response to desipramine: at the completion of acute treatment; at the end of the continuation phase of treatment; and after a minimum of three weeks "washout" following the discontinuation of treatment. | Clomipramine | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
2 | The prolactin response to clomipramine challenge was blunted in depressed patients compared with matched healthy control subjects, at each time point over the longitudinal course of their illness and recovery. | Clomipramine | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
3 | Blunted prolactin response to clomipramine challenge persists in depressed patients after recovery from acute illness, and may reflect an underlying biological vulnerability. | Clomipramine | prolactin | Homo sapiens |
