- W2072709114 abstract "To explore whether possible differences in central nervous system neuromodulators contribute to the differential presentation of affective symptomatology in Cushing's disease and major depression, we examined the levels of immunoreactive CRH and ACTH in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 11 patients with Cushing's disease, a patient with ectopic ACTH secretion, 34 patients with major depression, and 60 healthy subjects. We elected to measure these peptides not only because both are classically involved in pituitary-adrenal regulation, but also because their primarily arousal-producing and anorexigenic behavioral effects in experimental animals suggest that they may play a role in the symptom complex of depressive syndromes. We also explored whether the CSF levels of these peptides were more helpful in determining the often difficult differential diagnosis between major depression and Cushing's disease than the plasma ACTH response to ovine CRH, a currently used but somewhat insensitive laboratory means of distinguishing these disorders. CSF levels of immunoreactive CRH and ACTH were significantly lower in Cushing's disease patients [21.9 +/- 2.7 and 15.4 +/- 1.8 pg/mL, (mean +/- SEM), respectively] compared to patients with major depression [38.4 +/- 2.3 pg/mL (P less than 0.01) and 24.5 +/- 1.6 pg/mL (P less than 0.01), respectively] and controls [38.4 +/- 1.6 pg/mL (P less than 0.001) and 26.3 +/- 1.1 pg/mL (P less than 0.001), respectively]. The coexistence of high plasma ACTH and low CSF ACTH in Cushing's disease yielded a CSF/plasma ACTH ratio consistently less than that in depressed patients, with only 2 of 31 subjects comprising both groups showing values that overlapped. In contrast, 9 of the combined patients showed ACTH responses to ovine CRH that overlapped. These data suggest that differences in centrally directed CRH secretion may account for the differential presentation of the dysphoric syndromes seen in major depression and Cushing's disease. Hence, the classic form of major depression (melancholia), is often associated with evidence of pathological hyperarousal, such as intense anxiety, sleeplessness, and anorexia, while that of Cushing's disease is associated with evidence of pathological hyperarousal, including hyperphagia, fatigue, and inertia. Moreover, measurement of the CSF/plasma ACTH ratio may serve as a clinically useful adjunct to the ovine CRH stimulation test and other laboratory measures in determining the differential diagnosis between major depression and Cushing's disease." @default.
