  • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Suppression of HIV Infectivity and Replication

    Tami D Benton, Tami Benton et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2010

    OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) citalopram would down-regulate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infectivity and that the greatest effects would be seen in people with depression. Depression is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission has been implicated in the pathobiology of depression, and pharmacologic ther…

  • High Versus Low Basal Cortisol Secretion in Asymptomatic, Medication-free HIV-infected Men

    John M Petitto, Jane Leserman et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2000

    The authors hypothesized that HIV-infected men with high basal cortisol secretion would exhibit greater stress-related reductions in the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell-derived cytokines and numbers of CD8+ T and NK lymphocytes than low basal cortisol secretors. A semistructured interview was used to assess life stress during the preceding 6 months of 94 HIV-infected men classified as high and low cortisol secretors (n = 47/group). Increased levels of seve…

    Dwight L Evans, Cheryl F McCartney et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1988

    Major depression occurs in a significant number of cancer patients, and there is evidence that cancer patients with depression do not receive adequate antidepressant treatment. In an uncontrolled pilot study, the authors assess the degree of depression and the quality of life after the initiation of antidepressant medication treatment in 12 depressed cancer patients who received adequate antidepressant drugs and in 10 depressed cancer patients wh…
