TL;DR: Corticoid values, as well as neurophysiological and behavioral responses, suggested that the stress induced by forced exploration might be due to the fact that animals are prevented from freely regulating their exposure to novel places rather than to novelty per se.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the gross electrical activity of the brain changes in a parallel with changed hormone levels, and changes in performance tests coincide with increasing or decreasing alpha activities in the EEG.

TL;DR: No consistently altered sensitivity to monoaminergic stimulation by amphetamine in bipolar affective disorder was demonstrated in this study, one of the first reports of familial (possibly genetic) variation in a psychostimulant drug response in man.

TL;DR: Fetal exposure to ethanol during the first neonatal week delayed the onset of the pituitary-adrenal rhythm from day 18 to day 21, suggesting that the delays following neonatal exposure were due to nutritional deficits rather than to alcohol per se.

TL;DR: Central diabetes insipidus patients showed impairments in short- and long-term memory functions, but not in attention and concentration, as compared to healthy individuals, and a single i.m. injection or sub-chronic intranasal administration of either lysine-vasopressin (LVP) or 1-deamino-8-D-arginine- vasopress in DDAVP normalized the disturbed memory functions in DI patients.

TL;DR: The modest relationships between workload and endocrine secretion were interpreted as evidence for adaptation by the controllers to their working environment and responsiveness to large increases in workload was interpreted as reflecting high levels of job investment.

TL;DR: It is concluded that acute anorexia nervosa, with its concomitant profound weight loss, is accompanied by abnormalities in the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis, which are reversed only in part with improvement in the illness and weight gain, suggesting the persistence of disordered neuroendocrine function in this illness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the TSH response to TRH and urinary cortisol excretion were measured in 76 patients with an RDC diagnosis of major depressive disorder, serum TSH, TSH responses to trachromatic thyroid hormone (TRH) and urinary free cortisol (UFC) were found to be correlated with depression.

TL;DR: On average, across three repeated studies, controllers were secreting more cortisol and less growth hormone than the most comparable group of normal males, and both hormones showed a lack of consistency across repeated studies in terms of average level or measures of episodic secretory activity.

TL;DR: The relatively lower pituitary--adrenal activation when a single partner was present indicated that the social environment can affect an individual's general level of arousal and subsequently alter the response to stressful stimuli.

TL;DR: The present series of experiments documents the importance which visual cues have in the sexual interactions of this particular species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and various clinical correlates - SADS scales, Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) depressive subtypes, family history from the FHRDC, responsivity to antidepressant treatment, etc.

TL;DR: Physostigmine was infused into human volunteers to assess the effect of central cholinergic stimulation on memory and on neuroendocrine function and it was found that the GH component of this response can be suppressed by peripheral Cholinergic blockade.

TL;DR: There were no differences in GH, PRL or TSH responses after GnRH infusion between the patients and the normal subjects, in contrast to previously reported abnormalities in depressed patients.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effect of phentolamine suggests that NA alpha receptors are involved in the diazepam-induced GH increase, and does not have an agonistic effect on dopamine (DA) receptors.

TL;DR: Investigation of the plasma concentrations of five adrenal steroids before and after an overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST) revealed that the sensitivity of the DST can be increased by using a multisteroid analysis.

TL;DR: The various behavioral effects of morphine, ACTH, epinephrine and the enkephalins may be explained by the release of endogenous beta-endorphin.

TL;DR: The results suggest an influence of testosterone on central postsynaptic alpha 2 receptors or on structures connected to these receptors in gonadectomized adult male rats.

TL;DR: An examination of some of the experimental and statistical properties of repeated measures designs and the relative merits of four parametric statistical procedures for testing a repeated measures hypothesis.

TL;DR: Physical health change, levels of psychopathology and cortisol responses to increased workload were statistically independent predictors of average cortisol levels.

TL;DR: Measurements of serum TSH, PRL, GH, T3, T4 and FT4-Index after injection of TRH indicate that in both sexes a baseline sample and a 30-min sample provide an excellent index of the entire TSH secretory response to TRH.

TL;DR: DMI causes reliable GH stimulation in healthy male subjects, whereas GH stimulation could only be measured in some of the subjects after diazepam and metaclazepam.

TL;DR: In a non-biased sample of 10 boys with idiopathic adolescent gynecomastia matched with eight boys with treated congenital virilizing adrenocorticism, there were three cases of homosexual gender status, all in the IAG group; and no cases of transexualism, transvestism or gynemimesis.

TL;DR: According to these observations dexamethasone appears to have a stimulatory effect on 0900 hr plasma Aldo-levels, which are blunted in patients with ED, which possibly signifies disinhibited central dopaminergic function in ED.

TL;DR: Severe anxiety, induced by treating the subject's phobia with in vivo flooding, did not influence plasma TSH levels in any consistent way, nor could a specific TSH response to anxiety be identified in any individual subject.
