Resumen

La globulina fijadora de cortisol (CBG) es una glucoproteína-alfa-1 con elevada afinidad al cortisol que podría ser un potencial marcador biológico del estrés crónico, según varios estudios anteriores. Para examinar las concentraciones de CBG en el trastorno bipolar, determinamos sus niveles en suero por radioinmunoensayo con anticuerpos monoclonales en una muestra de 39 pacientes con trastorno bipolar I en remisión según los RDC y 21 sujetos de control sanos emparejados por la edad, el sexo y el peso corporal. Sólo se permitió el tratamiento de litio. Se determinaron también los niveles de cortisol en plasma y de litio en suero. Los hombres bipolares mostraron niveles de CBG en suero significativamente menores que los controles, mientras que las mujeres mostraron valores muy similares. No se encontró correlación entre los niveles de CBG y las concentraciones de cortisol o litio. Se concluye que la enfermedad afectiva crónica afecta a los niveles de CBG, incluso durante los períodos de remisión, al menos en los hombres bipolares.
