case_images: Blood levels of ACTH (pg/mL), cortisol (microg/dL), DHEAS (microg/dL), and progesterone (ng/mL) during catatonic and non-catatonic states. Data are presented as means with SEM (error bars). Open columns: non-catatonic state; hatched columns: catatonic state. ACTH, n = 12 and 15 samples in non-catatonic and catatonic states, respectively. Cortisol and DHEAS, n = 13 and 15 in non-catatonic and catatonic states, respectively. Progesterone, n = 12 and 13 in non-catatonic and catatonic states, respectively. **P < 0.01, Student t tests, non-catatonic vs catatonic.

case_images: Blood levels of cortisol and DHEAS significantly increased during the patient's catatonic states compared with her non-catatonic states, although blood levels of ACTH and progesterone did not differ between these states (Fig. 1).
