The Real Menstrual Cycle
The Relation of Plasma Androgen Levels to Sexual Behaviors and Attitudes of Women1
Four androgens: dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a variety of sexual behaviors and attitudes, and several moods were determined regularly in two groups of healthy, married women who differed by three decades in age. The younger women exhibited significantly higher levels of each androgen, the differences being almost entirely attributable to ovarian failure in the older group. Al…

Tetrahydrocortisol/Tetrahydrocortisone Ratio (H4F/H4E) as an Indicator of Depressive Feelings
Tetrahydrocortisol (H4F) and tetrahydrocortisone (H4E) were determined for a group of 15 depressed patients and 25 normal controls following the administration of cortisol-4-C14. The ratio, H4F/H4E, was significantly greater for the depressed patients than for the normal controls (P less than 0.001), although the sum of the two metabolites, H4F + H4E, was not significantly different. Three of four objective test measures of depressive feelings li…
Relation of Psychologic Measures of Aggression and Hostility to Testosterone Production in Man
Plasma testosterone level and testosterone production rate were determined in a group of 18 healthy young men, 15 healthy older men and 6 hospitalized dysphoric male patients. A battery of anxiety, depression and hostility tests were administered simultaneously. Production rate of testosterone was found to be highly correlated with a measure of aggression derived from the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory in the younger men. Age, on the other hand,…
Hypnotic Induction of Anxiety—A Psychoendocrine Investigation
BERNSTEIN, NORMAN R.; Levitt, Eugene E. Ph.D.; Persky, Harold Ph.D.; Brady, John Paul M.D. Author Information
Effect on Anxiety of Increasing the Plasma Hydrocortisone Level
Hydrocortisone and a placebo were administered on separate occasions to a group of 32 normal men in a 2 x 2, double-blind, cross-over design. The hydrocortisone did not increase the mean Affect Adjective Check List scores but did raise the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing's Anxiety Scale scores and Sum C of the Rorschach test. These findings were taken to indicate that anxiety-proneness rather than current anxiety were elevated by th…
The Effect of Hydrocortisone Infusion on Hypnotically Induced Anxiety
In a double-blind study, experimental subjects were infused with heavy loads of plasma hydrocortisone while control subjects received an appropriate placebo. Anxiety was then induced in all subjects by means of hypnotic suggestions. No mean differences between groups were found on three psychological measures of anxiety. The data suggest that anxiety tended to persist after its hypnotic relief in the subjects receiving the hormone infusion and wa…
Relation of Rorschach Factors and Plasma Hydrocortisone Level in Hypnotically Induced Anxiety
Plasma hydrocortisone was determined under hypnosis and following a hypnotically induced anxiety state in 12 normal subjects. At the same times, Rorschach tests were administered. The change in level of PHC is significantly correlated with 3 of 26 factors scored on the Rorschach test. The three factors are response determined only by color (Pure C), popular response (P), and percentage of good form response (F+%). The correlations are in the pred…
Blood Corticotropin and Adrenal Weight Maintenance Factor Levels of Anxious Patients and Normal Subjects
A group of anxious, hypercorticoid patients were shown to have a mean plasma level of AWMF (a relatively new corticotropic substance), more than twice that of a group of normal, eucorticoid subjects. The mean blood level of AADF, the conventional corticotropin, was higher in the anxious group but not significantly so. By a single classification analysis of variance, the levels of both AWMF and AADF were shown to be significantly correlated with t…
Psychological Stress and Endocrine Functions
Evidence indicating the importance of the adrenal cortex and thyroid in adaptation to stressful conditions was reviewed. Serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) and plasma 17-hydroxycorticosterone (17-OH) were determined in 30 patients within 24 hours after their admission to the psychiatric section of a general hospital. These patients showed a significantly elevated 17-OH mean level in comparison with control subjects. Their diurnal fall was less than…
Glutathione Metabolism in Men under Psychological Stress
Blood reduced glutathione concentration is significantly diminished 5 to 10 hours after such psychological stresses as jumping from a 34-foot tower while in harness, parachute jumping, and participation in night-infiltration exercises, but not after extremely severe, purely physical activity. The exact nature of the psychological stress capable of evoking this metabolic response is unknown. It is postulated that severe psychological stress operat…
