Interferon-alpha-induced inflammation is associated with reduced glucocorticoid negative feedback sensitivity and depression in patients with hepatitis C virus
IFN-alpha decreased glucocorticoid sensitivity in association with flattened diurnal cortisol slope in patients with hepatitis C virus
•
Decreased glucocorticoid sensitivity was correlated with increased IFN-alpha-induced soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (sTNFR2)
•
Increased sTNFR2 predicted increased depression and fatigue scores, independent of the change in glucocorticoid sensitivity
•
Inflammation in medical illness may decrease glucocorticoid sensitivity, in turn increasing cytokines and their effects on behavior
