Title | Metabolomic differences in heart failure patients with and without major depression |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to determine metabolic differences in depressed and nondepressed participants. The sample consisted of a depressed group of patients with heart failure enrolled in an NIMH-supported clinical trial of sertraline versus placebo in depressed heart failure patients, and a non-depressed comparator group of heart failure patients. Blood samples were obtained from currently depressed individuals (depressed group, n = 40) and non-depressed control participants (control group, n = 40). Plasma samples were profiled on GC-MS and LC-MS metabolomics platforms for biochemical content. |
