In order to investigate the possible existence of a circadian rhythm in plasma free and sulfate-conjugated 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (DOPEG), the plasma levels of this metabolite (and for comparison, of melatonin and cortisol) were measured in seven healthy volunteers at 4-h intervals over a

## Objective: Some evidence indicates that an immune response with an increased production of proinflammatory cytokines often accompanies major depression. the objective of this study was to examine the serum levels of il-6 in patients with major depression and the changes occurring in il-6 levels
## Abstract The relationship between antidepressant effects and plasma levels of milnacipran was studied in 49 cases of major depression without psychotic features during 6 weeks of milnacipran treatment. The daily dose of milnacipran was 50βmg/day for the first week, and up to 100βmg/day thereafte
Thirty-seven patients who fulfilled DSM-lll-R criteria for Major Depressive Disorder were recruited for a double-blind controlled trial of desipramine and placebo for 6 weeks. Initial levels of dysfunctional attitudes in the placebo group, particularly those related to achievement, were found to pre
Recent studies have implicated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the pathophysiology of depression and in the activities of antidepressant drugs. Serum BDNF levels are lower in depressed patients and increase in response to antidepressant medications; however, no studies have examined the
