Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Standard overnight metyrapone tests do not support a hypersecretion of hypothalamic CRH in panic disorder. Furthermore, no evidence for increased glucocorticoid negative feedback in panic was found. Hypothalamic CRH secretion in the nonpanic state needs further research.
