|

Abstract
|
|
|
This study was undertaken to investigate whether there were any differences in some circadian rhythms of the depressed patients from those of the normals. Body temperature and urinary 17-ketosteroid excretions were measured at regular intervals.
As a result, the followings were found
1. Depressed patients showed a phase-advance of 2hours in the time of their temperature peak.
2. The excretion of urinary 17-ketosteroid throughout 24 hours period was bigber in depressed patients than in normal persons.
3. The nadir of mean urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion time in the depressed group was shifted earlier than normal persons.
