Psychoneuroendocrinology, 06/09/09
Wüst S et al. - These findings support the view that the 5-HTTLPR is associated with a major neuroendocrine stress system. It could be speculated that the sex-specific nature of this association contributes to the distinct gender differences in the vulnerability for depression.
Methods- To explore the association between the 5-HTTLPR and HPA axis regulation this study performed a detailed endophenotyping in 216 healthy subjects (all 126 females used oral contraceptives).
- While ACTH and cortisol responses to an established psychosocial stress paradigm (Trier Social Stress Test) were not found to be related to the 5-HTTLPR, this study observed a significant and sex-specific association with the cortisol awakening response, which is a reliable marker of basal cortisol secretion, and with ACTH levels after dexamethasone administration.
- The supplementary inclusion of a 5-HTT A/G polymorphism (rs25531) in the analyses did not substantially modify the study results.
