It has been reported that depression and diabetes mellitus often occur together, and insulin resistance has been observed in patients with depression. For further understanding of the relationship of depression to insulin resistance, three patients with depression were given the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) with minimal model analysis before and after antidepressant treatment. Depressive patients showed decreased glucose tolerance, enhanced insulin secretion, and diminished insulin sensitively during OGTT and FSIGT. These abnormalities were resolved after their recovery from depression without changes in body weight or diet.(Internal Medicine 38: 257-260, 1999)
