Abstract
The authors studied postdexamethasone cortisol secretion in 18 depression-free, healthy, obese subjects before and after weight loss. Although all subjects suppressed cortisol normally before weight loss, 5 of 18 (27.5%) failed to suppress cortisol after an average loss of 13.5 kg. This failure to suppress cortisol was not associated with any change in depression ratings.Entities:
