TLDR
In this article, the leukocyte mRNA expression levels of genes belonging to glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function (FKBP-4, FKBP-5, and GR), inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1a, IL-1b), IL-6 and IL-7), macrophage inhibiting factor (MIF), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a), were tested before and after 8 weeks of treatment with escitalopram or nortriptyline, as part of the Genome-

Childhood Trauma and Adulthood Inflammation: A Meta-Analysis of Peripheral C-reactive Protein, interleukin-6 and Tumour Necrosis factor-α

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that childhood trauma contributes to a pro-inflammatory state in adulthood, with specific inflammatory profiles depending on the specific type of trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation: Depression Fans the Flames and Feasts on the Heat

TL;DR: When inflammation and depression co-occur, treating them in tandem may enhance recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence, suggesting that effective depression treatments could have a far-reaching impact on mood, inflammation, and health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation is associated with decreased functional connectivity within corticostriatal reward circuitry in depression

TL;DR: It is suggested that decreased corticostriatal connectivity may serve as a target for anti-inflammatory or pro-dopaminergic treatment strategies to improve motivational and motor deficits in patients with increased inflammation, including depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroinflammation and depression: A review

TL;DR: The intricated dynamic crosstalk between neuro inflammation and other relevant neurobiological correlates of depression add to evidence that neuroinflammation may be a key therapeutic target for future therapeutic strategies in major depressive disorder.

An inventory for measuring depression

TL;DR: The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new depression scale designed to be sensitive to change.

TL;DR: The construction of a depression rating scale designed to be particularly sensitive to treatment effects is described, and its capacity to differentiate between responders and non-responders to antidepressant treatment was better than the HRS, indicating greater sensitivity to change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Rating Scale for Primary Depressive Illness

TL;DR: This is an account of further work on a rating scale for depressive states, including a detailed discussion on the general problems of comparing successive samples from a ‘population’, the meaning of factor scores, and the other results obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Major Depression

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.
Journal ArticleDOI

The HPA axis in major depression: classical theories and new developments

TL;DR: It is shown that hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is one of the most consistent biological findings in major depression psychiatry, but the mechanisms underlying this abnormality are still unclear.
