 Project Summary  Evan D. Kanter, M.D., Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2000) of Seattle Institute for Biomedical & Clinical Research, is studying the role of the stress hormone system in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Previous studies suggest that the body's major stress response system is less active in PTSD. In this study, Dr. Kanter will directly stimulate the adrenal gland with ACTH. It is hypothesized that PTSD subjects will have a decreased cortisol response compared to controls. This project may lead to a better understanding of normal and abnormal stress responses in PTSD. Program Area: ANXIETY DISORDERS\Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) |
