Abstract
Serum levels of allopregnanolone, pregnenolone sulfate, and dehydroepiandro sterone sulfate were measured in 8 male patients with generalized anxiety d isorder (GAD) and 8 healthy control subjects. Results suggest that patients with GAD have significantly lower levels of pregnenolone sulfate than cont rol subjects.
