Reduced mitochondrial respiration in T cells of patients with major depressive disorder

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Converging evidence indicates that major depressive disorder (MDD) and metabolic disorders might be mediated by shared (patho)biological pathways. However, the converging cellular and molecular signatures remain unknown. Here, we investigated metabolic dysfunction on a systemic, cellular, and molecular level in unmedicated patients with MDD compared with matched healthy controls (HC). Despite comparable BMI scores and… Read more »
