Untargeted gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was performed to analyse baseline levels of 68 serum metabolites. Of the nine metabolites that differentiated placebo and NAC groups, five were amino acids with lower levels in the NAC responder group compared with the NAC non-responders. Further analysis generated a predictive model of MADRS improvement including glycine, norleucine, threonine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glutamic acid, lysine and leucine (R2 = 0.853; adjusted R2 = 0.733). This prediction model predicted 85% of the variance in MADRS outcome after adjunctive treatment with NAC. BD participants with lower serum levels of free amino acids at baseline may be more likely to respond to adjunctive treatment with NAC.]]> Wed 05 Jul 2023 14:11:36 AEST ]]> Exploring interleukin-6, lipopolysaccharide binding protein and brain-derived neurotrophic factor following 12 weeks of adjunctive minocycline treatment for depression https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51700 Fri 15 Sep 2023 10:39:15 AEST ]]>
