The dexamethasone suppression test in bulimia nervosa

G O'Brien, F Hassanyeh, A Leake, K Schapira, M White and IN Ferrier
University Department of Psychiatry, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

In a study of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) in patients with bulimia nervosa, a non-suppression rate of about 50% was found. The only clinical correlates of DST non-suppression were a previous history of weight loss and/or of anorexia nervosa. These results suggest that DST non-suppression in these subjects may be a trait rather than a state marker of anorexia nervosa.
