Italians find panic key
« H E » Anxiety Insights ::Hormone findings promise new treatment for attacks
ANSA - Rome, September 1 2006 - Italian researchers have identified a substance they believe is responsible for the panic attacks and bouts of anxiety that make sufferers' lives miserable.
The substance in question is a hormone called aldosterone, similar in form to the body's growth hormone.
I haven't found the full transcript yet, all I know is that aldosterone is involved, and I don't know whether it's too much aldosterone or too little, or something else related to aldosterone. The date of the article is 1st September 2006. Fairly recent research I imagine.
pubmed lists this >
That relates to the psychological aspects of primary aldosteronism. I don't think it's directly the same article as the topic of this thread. However it's probably the same team of researchers involved.
