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-

Depression and inflammation: Correlation between changes in inflammatory markers with antidepressant response and long-term prognosis

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed secondary analyses among 90 outpatients with moderate-severe depression (71% female, mean age 38 years) treated for 26 weeks with escitalopram or nortriptyline and measured 27 pro-and anti-inflammatory markers at week 0, 8, 12, and 26 and calculated composite inflammation scores.

The Role of Peripheral Inflammation in Clinical Outcome and Brain Imaging Abnormalities in Psychosis: A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review aims to clarify the potential role of peripheral inflammatory markers as predictors of clinical outcomes and their association with neuroimaging markers in patients with psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropsin Inactivation Has Protective Effects against Depressive-Like Behaviours and Memory Impairment Induced by Chronic Stress

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neuropsin inactivation protects against the impairment of hippocampal functions and the depressive-like behaviour induced by chronic stress or high levels of corticosterone, and is a potential target for clinical interventions for the management of stress disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

VGF has Roles in the Pathogenesis of Major Depressive Disorder and Schizophrenia: Evidence from Transgenic Mouse Models.

TL;DR: Studies of the roles of VGF using transgenic mice and its relevance to pathologies in major depressive disorder and schizophrenia are discussed.

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.
