However, the changes reported have been at variance, probably related to in- or outpatient status, the use of antidepressant medication and the heterogeneity of depression. We therefore conducted a controlled study in unipolar depressed outpatients who had been free of antidepressants for at least 3 months.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Design<\/jats:italic>\n                    : We assessed endocrine parameters in 113 depressed outpatients and in 113 sex- and age-matched controls.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Patients were included if they had a major depression according to a Structural Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), fourth edition (SCID-IV) and if they had a 17-item Hamilton rating scale for depression (HRSD) score of \u226516. Endocrine parameters contained serum concentrations of TSH, (free) thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine, cortisol, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody titre and 24-h urinary excretion of cortisol.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The serum concentration of TSH was slightly higher in depressed patients as compared with controls (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001), independent of the presence of subclinical hypothyroidism and\/or TPO antibodies (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 28). All other HPT axis parameters were similar in both groups. The 24-h urinary cortisol excretion was similar in patients and controls. In atypical depression, serum cortisol was lower than in non-atypical depression (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.01). Patients with neither melancholic depression nor severe depression (HRSD \u226523) had altered endocrine parameters.
