Abstract
Platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and postdexamethasone cortisol levels were determined in 26 depressed patients. The incidence of cortisol nonsuppression and the mean postdexamethasone cortisol levels were significantly higher in patients with high MAO activity than in those with low MAO activity.
