Journal ArticleDOI
Negative immunoregulatory effects of antidepressants: inhibition of interferon-gamma and stimulation of interleukin-10 secretion.
Marie-Berthe Maes,Cai Song,A. Lin,Stefania Bonaccorso,Gunter Kenis,R. De Jongh,E. Bosmans,S. Scharpe +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that antidepressants, at concentrations in the therapeutical range, have negative immunoregulatory effects through inhibition of IFNγ and stimulation of IL-10 release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased 24-hour urinary cortisol excretion in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder and patients with major depression, but not in patients with fibromyalgia.
Marie-Berthe Maes,A. Lin,Stefania Bonaccorso,F. Van Hunsel,A. Van Gastel,Laure Delmeire,Massimo Biondi,E. Bosmans,Gunter Kenis,Simon Scharpé +9 more
TL;DR: Increased 24‐h UC excretion in patients with PTSD comparable to that in patientsWith major depression, whereas in fibromyalgia no significant changes in 24-h UC were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum levels of excitatory amino acids, serine, glycine, histidine, threonine, taurine, alanine and arginine in treatment-resistant depression: modulation by treatment with antidepressants and prediction of clinical responsivity
TL;DR: The results suggest that alterations in serum levels of aspartate, asparagine, serine, threonine and taurine may predict the subsequent response to treatment with antidepressants, and that the latter may modulate serum Levels of excitatory amino acids and taurusine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune Disturbances during Major Depression: Upregulated Expression of Interleukin-2 Receptors
TL;DR: Patients with major depression had a higher number and percentage of CD25+ cells, higher concentrations of serum circulating sIL-2Rs, higher supernatant sIL -2Rs after stimulation with PHA, and aHigher number of CD4+ cells were significantly and positively related to the number of cells expressing the CD 25+ antigen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and lower retinol binding protein plasma levels during depression: Further evidence for the existence of an inflammatory response during that illness
Marie-Berthe Maes,Simon Scharpé,Simon Scharpé,L. Van Grootel,W. Uyttenbroeck,W. Uyttenbroeck,W. Cooreman,W. Cooreman,Paul Cosyns,E. Suy +9 more
TL;DR: Increased plasma concentrations of Hp, alpha 1AT, and Cp in major depressed subjects as compared with healthy controls, with minor depressives exhibiting an intermediate position, are compatible with the hypothesis that major depression may be accompanied by inflammatory changes with higher levels of positive APPs.
