Effects of paroxetine or milnacipran on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor in depressed patients.

TL;DR: Serum BDNF levels in responders were significantly increased 2.6- and 1.8-fold 8 weeks after treatment with paroxetine or milnacipran, respectively, suggesting that both drugs improve the depressive state by increasingBDNF levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) level is associated with SSRI- or SNRI-refractory depression

TL;DR: It is suggested that higher plasma IL-6 activity is associated with the refractoriness of depression, and plasmaIL-6 levels might be a predictor for response to SSRIs or SNRI.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study identifies two novel susceptibility loci and trans population polygenicity associated with bipolar disorder

TL;DR: Two novel and three previously implicated loci are significantly associated with bipolar disorder and that the BD ‘risk’ effect are shared between Japanese and European populations are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Major Depressive Disorder: Evidence from Meta-Analyses.

TL;DR: BDNF is best understood to be a biomarker for the state of MDD and its treatment response rather than a risk factor for MDD.
