Abstract:
Objective To understand the serum gonadal hormone level of female patients with panic disorder(PD),and to analyze its relationship with the disease severity.Methods The chemiluminescence method was adopted to detect serum gonadal hormone level in 57 female patients with panic disorder and 74 healthy subjects,the panic disorder severity scale (PDSS),Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were simultaneously used to conduct the investigation.Results The serum pituitary prolactin (PRL) level in the female patients with PD had lower level was higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The difference of the serum testosterone,estradiol and progesterone levels between the female patients with panic disorder and control group was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The correlation analysis found that serum T level in the female patients with PD was negatively correlated with the disease severity of panic disorder,HAMD total score,retardation factor and sleep disorder factor (P＜0.05).Serum LH and FSH were positively correlated with the anxiety somatic factor of HAMA (P＜0.05).Serum FSH level was positively correlated with anxiety somatization and the sleep disorder factor of HAMD (P＜0.05).Conclusion The disorder of gonadal hormone levels may exist in the female patients with PD,and the serum T level is correlated with the PD severity and depressive symptoms.
