Plasma Anthranilic Acid and Leptin Levels Predict HAM-D Scores in Depressed Women
Objectives: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with dysregulations of leptin and tryptophan–kynurenine (Trp–Kyn) (TKP) pathways. Leptin, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, activates Trp conversion into Kyn. However, leptin association with down-stream Kyn metabolites in MDD is unknown. Methods:...
