Abstract

We explored the effect of light therapy upon basal fasting plasma glucagon in 15 patients with winter depression vs. 15 comparison subjects before and after at least 1 week of light treatment. No differences were seen between groups or conditions. There was no correlation between glucagon change and antidepressant response.
