Title

Pharmacometabolomic mapping of early biochemical changes induced by sertraline and placebo

Overall design

The aim of this study was to characterize early biochemical changes associated with sertraline and placebo administration and changes associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). MDD patients received sertraline (sertraline group, n = 43) or placebo (placebo group, n = 46) in a double-blind 4-week trial; baseline, 1 week, and 4 weeks serum samples were profiled using a gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry metabolomics platform. Metabolomic changes after 4 weeks of treatment in both groups were identified.
